This video shows a Turkish man climbing onto the roof of a parked car to escape a chasing boar that had rammed its way out of its pen.

The incident was filmed by an onlooker in the village of Akcay in the district of Piraziz in the northern Turkish province of Giresun on an unspecified recent date.

In the clip, the large black boar is seen running to the front of the property and ramming the fence several times before breaking out.

The man turns and runs and the boar gives chase. He quickly turns behind a parked van and the animal disappears down a slope.

Meanwhile, the scared man climbs on top of a parked car and decides to wait it out on the roof.

Ugur Yetkin said he was on his way to his grandmother’s house in the village when he passed the boar.

He saw the animal run to the front of the property and ram through the fence before chasing him across the road.

Seeking shelter, he clambered on a parked car and sat on the roof until the coast was clear.

Ugur said: “I was on my way to my grandmother’s house in the village. My nan, who saw me through the window, shouted ‘there’s a boar in the garden’.

“I threw away the wood I had found on the road and tried to escape when the boar broke through the fence and charged towards me.

“I then climbed on a car on the side of the road and the boar continued running away towards someone’s garden.”
