May 18 (UPI) -- Police in the German capital temporarily blocked a busy road to allow a herd of more than 20 wild boar to dash across the street.

A video posted to Twitter by Felix Hackenbruch shows the pack of pigs, including several young hogs, running across a busy road in the Zehlendorf district of Berlin while police blocked traffic.
