Putrajaya Fire and Rescue Station chief Shaari Abdullah said they received a call about the incident at 12.40pm.
He said eight personnel with two fire engines arrived shortly after and chased the animal out of the shopping complex building.
“The animal then headed towards the Presint 16 rugby field and the case was handed over to the Putrajaya Corporation (PPj) Wildlife Division for further action,” he told Bernama.
Several video clips and photos went viral on Twitter showing the wild boar roaming inside a sports shop in Alamanda.
Shaari said a wild boar shooting operation was held every Sunday in the federal government administrative centre.
Therefore, he requested the officers involved to contact the PPj wildlife division to see if there was any such case so as to ensure the safety of the people and public property.
