Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 LONDON (Reuters) - A farm worker needed hospital treatment after being attacked by a herd of pigs, Norfolk police said on Sunday. The 51-year-old man was knocked over by a sow at a Norfolk farm, prompting the rest of the herd to attack him. " It seems that when he fell, he was attacked by one of the sows and then the other pigs joined in, " a Norfolk police spokesman told Reuters. " He suffered bumps and bruises and a head injury though it is not considered to be life-threatening. " The police spokesman said it was the first time he had heard of a pig attack in the area -- but it was unlikely the herd would be put down.
