WE’VE all heard the one about a bull in a china shop but in Hong Kong shoppers watched amazed as a wild boar rampaged around a kid’s clothes store.

TV video showed the boar, which had apparently climbed up a ladder in the shop’s back room, punching a hole through the showroom’s false ceiling with a hoof.

News reports said the animal was a 25kg juvenile female.

Shoppers squealed in amazement as the boar clambered down onto the top of display case, jumped to the floor and skittered around the shop, knocking over mannequins and signs.

The boar was eventually tranquilised and taken to an animal rehab centre, the South China Morning Post reported.
