A wild boar was filmed hurtling down a ski slope and charging into a group of snowboarders - biting and headbutting them - damaging their gear.<br /><br />Footage shows the dangerous swine rushing down the mountain at high-speed and attacking the group of youngsters.<br /><br />Raymond Tan, 38, captured the moment at Ikenotaira Ski Resort in Myoko, Japan.<br /><br />Project manager Tan, from Perth, Australia, initially thought the animal was a dog following a skier, so he pulled out his phone and started to record. <br /><br />Tan said: "Me and my mates were taking a break at Ikenotaira ski resort restaurant called Kayaba Tap Room & Cafe, when we saw what we initially thought was a dog following a skier down the slopes.<br /><br />"I started to record it as the skier got to the bottom of the run and made his way towards the chair lifts.<br /><br />"As I zoomed in, I noticed it wasn't a pet dog, but a wild boar, and continued to film."<br /><br />The video shows the wild boar attacking one snowboarder from behind, who avoids the headbutt, and falls to the ground.<br /><br />Luckily the snowboarder uses his board - while still attached to it - as a shield to repel several headbutts from the animal before it chooses its next target.<br /><br />It then dashes across the snow to another snowboarder who uses his board as a shield to parry the animal preventing injury.<br /><br />The boar then makes a getaway and runs away from the group.<br /><br />Raymond confirmed that nobody was injured in the incident and police later captured the animal safely.<br /><br />He added: "We we're definitely shocked, as we thought it may have been a husky that someone had brought along to the slope.<br /><br />"It was running high on the heels of the skier down the slope."<br /><br />A local rental shop confirmed on their Instagram that one of their customers had their board damaged in the attack. <br /><br />The footage was captured in February.
