Stomper Daryl was on the way home from picking his son up from tuition at the recreational centre last Saturday (Oct 13) at 4pm and came across the wild boar opposite SAFRA Punggol.
He was walking towards Sam Kee LRT Station, near a construction site where they are building the new Punggol Town Hub.
He took a picture when it was not paying attention.
He said: "It was big, almost the size of half a car and I was terrified. I was worried for my son, but we knew we just had to walk past it.
"When it was not paying any attention to us while we were walking, I snapped a picture of it."
