Footage shows wild boars blocking tram traffic in Polish city

Story

Footage shows a herd of wild boars standing on tram tracks in Olsztyn, northeastern Poland on Thursday Jan. 15, 2026, bringing public transport to a halt for about 30 minutes as trams were unable to move past the animals. Local media reported that around ten boars occupied the tracks for an extended period, leaving trams and passengers stuck while drivers waited for the animals to clear the area. Encounters with wild boars have become increasingly common in some Polish cities as the animals venture into urban areas in search of food. No injuries were reported, and services resumed once the herd moved away.
