Hog attacks cyclist in Hong Kong

HONG KONG (AFP) - A Hong Kong cyclist required hospital treatment
after he was attacked and set upon by a wild pig, a report said
Sunday.

Wong Pok-hon was cycling to work along a highway in sleepy Tai Po
district in the New Territories when the 1.2 metre grey-brown beast
suddenly appeared and rammed into his bike, sending him sprawling, the
Sunday Morning Post reported.

After the collision, the pig continued its unprovoked attack and
attempted to bite Wong who was forced to use his bike as a shield to
protect himself from the raging hog.

The attack ended when another cyclist spotted Wong and fought off the
pig with a metal bar, sending the animal trotting off back to the
hillside.

Police said they had mounted a search for the fierce pig but had found
no trace of the animal.

Hmmm. Wonder if he got any "bacon" on his legs.

Oh the humiliation. At least he wasn't killed. It would be the
ultimate humiliation to have his tombstone read :
"Here Lies Wong Pok-hon"
"Attacked and killed by a wild pig"
"Sunrise April 1, 1975"
"Sunset September 12, 2003"

That's worse than my recurring death while riding fear "trampled by a
herd of cattle".
