Pop star Shakira has said in her Instagram stories that she was attacked by wild boars while walking with her son in a park in Barcelona.

"They attacked me in the park and took off with my bag with my phone," the Colombian singer said, holding a torn and dirty black bag up to the camera.

"In the end, they let go of the bag," she added, before saying to her son: "Milan, tell the truth about how your mother confronted the wild boars." The pair were not injured in the attack.

Wild boars are more and more common in Barcelona, as in many other European cities. In Barcelona some people even feed the animals, despite it being banned.
