The tribulations of the live weather reporter were once again on show overnight after a Greek weather reporter was attacked and bitten by a pig that was as cantankerous as he was large.

ANT1 reporter Lazos Mantikos was reporting live from the seaside resort town of Kineta following recent bad flooding and dangerous mudslides when he happened upon the prickly porcine.

Still, to Mantikos’ credit he soldiered on with his report, all to the unbridled joy of the hosts back in the ANT1 studio.

According to local media reports, the unnamed pig is particularly territorial and had been stalking and attacking Mantikos and his crew for most of the day. Check out the piggy action below:
