A pint-sized piggy pursuit through West Hollywood had a few people working together to try and catch a little pig. This video was broadcast on the NBC4 News at 4 p.m. on Aug. 18, 2026.
Some little piggies go to the market, but this little piggy went zooming down the street in West Hollywood over the weekend.
Jamaal Harrison captured the moment on video when he says he was riding an ebike when he spotted the pig. And after chasing him about 100 feet, Harrison crossed paths with Megan Gullett, who caught a different angle of the pig speeding down Hayworth Avenue Saturday morning.

“We gotta catch that pig,” Harrison said in the video posted on TikTok as he followed it on his ebike.
Harrison said he tried to corner the pig and get off the bike to grab it, but he was not able to.
“I cornered him but I couldn’t get off my bike to pick him up nor did I have a place to put him so I cornered him and he ran into the alley behind Canter’s,” Harrison said.

In the alley, Harrison encountered another man who also tried his best to catch the speeding animal
“That’s when the pig shoots down the alley and I speed up and get in front of him on my bike, cutting him off,” he added. “Well that’s when the man seems as if he knows exactly what to do with pig baby and I honestly thought it may be his pig at that time.”
Video shows the pig zooming past the man, continuing on his escape.
Harrison said he then nodded to the man, who “nods back as if he has it handled and I went on about my day.”
It was not clear who the pig belonged to or where it ended up, but some users on social media said it was taken to the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter.
