The 25kg animal proceeded to engage the police and animal control officers in a four-hand standoff, the South China Morning Post reported.

"It just came in out of nowhere, and turned around at the show window," the shop’s manager, who was not named, told the newspaper.

"It also pushed open the fitting room door and got in. Pigs are actually not stupid."

The female boar was eventually tranquilised by a vet and taken to a rehabilitation centre.
