Wang Kao, 26, was walking home when she passed the alley where officers were trying to catch the wild boar that had wandered into the heart of Fuqing in south eastern China's Fujian Province.
At the moment she walked past, police opened fire and killed the boar. But one of the bullets passed through the pig, bounced off the wall, and then hit the young woman, seriously wounding her.
Horrified passer-by Li Mei Ting, 33, said: 'I heard a volley of really loud bangs and then saw the woman collapse to the ground.
'At first I thought it was some sort of gangland shooting. But then police appeared from the alley carrying guns.
'At first they didn't notice the woman on the ground so I ran over calling to them for help.
'When I got there she was unconscious but thankfully still breathing.'
Ms.Wang was rushed to intensive care where surgeons attempted to remove the bullet.
A hospital spokesman said: 'She was in a serious and grave condition.
'The bullet had hit her in the back and had then travelled up to her chest, narrowly missing her heart.'
The hospital spokesman added: 'She has extensive internal damage but we are cautiously optimistic she will survive.'
A police spokesman said: 'We are looking into how this occurred and offer our sincerest apologies to the victim.
'She will be offered compensation for her ordeal and to cover the medical costs of the operation to save her life.'
