Stray dogs attack 62-yr-old in Sector 18

Chandigarh, July 21

A senior citizen was attacked by a pack of stray dogs near Jain Sthanak in Sector 18 here this morning.

One of the dogs bit the victim, Subhash Jain, a resident of Sector 8, on the right leg, leaving him bleeding profusely. “Had a car not driven past the animal, it would have bitten the flesh off my leg,” said the 62-year-old.

Jain, a local businessman, was going on foot from Sector 8 to Jain Sthanak. As he reached near the temple, dogs started following him.

They went to the GMSH-16 where the elderly man was administered an injection before being referred to the Civil Dispensary in Sector 19. — TNS
