I hope he had his hand checked out at the hospital. He could get an infection.

Ouch, that must have hurt. I am sure that the employer sent him for medical attention.

The police officer most likely went to a local hospital to deal with his injury.

Those wild hogs are often cantankerous, nasty pieces of work, and I guess the Police Officer will be more careful with hogs, in the future, too.
