After being attacked by a large dog, a young man filed a complaint against the owner of the animal. According to the victim, who escaped with a fractured arm, the facts occurred on Tuesday near the Caudan Waterfront, on the Salines side.
Yanick (first name changed), a resident of Edgard-Gallet Street in Port-Louis, finds himself with a cast on his left arm and several injuries to his knees and elbow. On Tuesday, this 28-year-old Health Care Assistant by profession returned home after his sports session at the Caudan Waterfront. It was around 6:30 p.m. As he was taking an alley on the Salines side, “a mastiff appeared in front of me. He started growling aggressively,” he said.
Given the size of the dog, Yannick immediately panicked. “He got closer and I started running away from him, but he kept following me. In my run, I tripped and fell. Fortunately, the pet owner intervened in time. “A man came out of a house and called the dog, which then changed direction and entered the yard. The man in question did not even come to help me,” he continues.
Yanick therefore got up on his own, not without difficulty. “I realized that I had several visible wounds on my body. And I felt excruciating pain in my left arm. Unable to take a step, he phoned his mother who came to pick him up. After being treated at Dr AG Jeetoo hospital, the young man filed a complaint for “allowing dog to stray” against the owner of the dog.
According to the description given by the victim, “it is a purebred dog that looks like a bulldog. He was very strong, with dark hair. The address of the house the dog entered was provided to police. An investigation is underway.
