The woman and her two-year-old child had to be rescued after around 20 large pigs began swarming her car.

Police said the woman called them from outside the tiny village of Wanderup, near the Danish border in northern Germany.

She said "20 relatively large hip-high pigs" had surrounded her VW Golf after she had driven off the road into a field.

She told AP they had formed such a tight circle and were behaving so aggressively that she couldn't flee the car.

Police said they were able to free the woman and her child without incident.
