Farm worker injured in attack by pigs

by Murdo Maguire — last modified 08-01-2007 06:41

A farm worker was treated in hospital following an attack by a herd of pigs.

The 51-year-old man fell over and was attacked by a sow in a pen on the Heggatt Hall estate at Horstead, Norfolk, on Saturday. He was able to crawl out and summon help and was taken to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

A Norfolk Police spokesman said: "It seems that when he fell, he was attacked by one of the sows and then other pigs joined in."

He added: "As a result he suffered bumps and bruises and a head injury, though it is not now considered to be life threatening."
