The Budapest Public Transport Center (BKK) reported that, contrary to earlier information, the metro did not hit the animal, which later moved onto the tracks and hid under a stationary train.
Authorities evacuated the station, halted traffic in both directions, and introduced a replacement bus service.
After assessing the injured boar, an official veterinarian decided that euthanasia was the only viable option, and the animal was removed from the tunnel. The origin of the boar’s injuries and how it entered the station remain unknown.
Kossuth Lajos tér is about as central as Budapest gets: the station sits directly beside the Hungarian Parliament on the Pest bank of the Danube, only a short walk from landmarks such as the Chain Bridge and St. Stephen’s Basilica.
