Man shoots hiker he mistakes for wild boar

Monday, 26 November 2007

A Kanagawa Prefecture man shot a hiker in a suburban Tokyo forest over the weekend after he mistakenly thought he was a wild boar, police said.

The 57-year-old man from Hiratsuka is being questioned over the incident that occurred while he was hunting in the Okutama area of outer Tokyo.

The 38-year-old man from Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, was shot in the arm, but expected to recover fully from his wounds after a few weeks of treatment.

The Hiratsuka man, who may face a charge of negligence resulting in injury, has admitted to his error.

"I mistakenly thought he was an animal," the man said.

Police said the shooting occurred on Sunday afternoon.
