Shakira says she was attacked by two wild boars while in Barcelona, Spain. The singer took to Instagram to explain the harrowing tale to her followers, saying the boars attacked her and stole her bag while she was in a park with her son, Milan. “Look at how two wild boar which attacked me in the park have left my bag,” Shakira said in the Instagram story, according to BBC News. She showed the bag, which appeared covered in dirt “They were taking my bag to the woods with my mobile phone in it,” she said. “They’ve destroyed everything.” She then asked her 8-year-old son about the incident. “Milan, tell the truth. Say how your mummy stood up to the wild boar,” she said, according to the BBC. While the incident seems bizarre, Shakira is just one victim in a string of attacks by wild boars in Barcelona.
