The 55-year-old man from Nurri who was attacked by a wild boar on Sunday afternoon in the countryside near his hometown remains in critical condition .
Taken by air ambulance to Brotzu Hospital in Cagliari, his condition remains critical. Doctors have not yet made a statement, but have told his family they must wait at least twenty-four hours.
No information has been released about what happened or where. The man was undoubtedly out in the countryside with his dogs and suffered a serious head injury. Despite being a hunter, he apparently had been out walking his animals alone on Sunday. After being attacked by the animal, he alerted his daughter to retrieve the dogs while he went to the emergency medical service. The doctor called 118, and two ambulances arrived. However, after assessing his serious condition, the air ambulance was called. The man was then intubated and taken to Cagliari.
There remains considerable concern in the Nurri community , which awaits good news about the man's condition. "We're waiting," said Nurri Mayor Roberto Cancedda, who is in contact with the family. " We've spoken to one of the daughters, but there's no significant news."
