In the wake of rising number of dog-attacks in India, another vicious dog attack was reported from Kerala where a stray attacked a boy on bicycle. Incidentally, it is being reported that the same stray dog had attacked three children earlier on the same day. The incident was reported from Arakkinaru town in Kerala’s Kozhikode district and occurred earlier on September 11.
According to reports, the 12-year-old was caught on CCTV getting attacked by the vicious stray. The video of the incident has since gone viral, raising concerns about the rising dog attacks in the nation. In the video gone viral, 12-year-old Nooras can be seen riding a bicycle when a black coloured stray dog pounces on him and starts biting him on the hand. Despite his repeated attempts to get free of the dog’s jaw, Nooras fails and continues getting bitten. With the dog still not letting go of his hand, Nooras tries to get inside his home, and manages to get free.
It should be noted that in Kerala several such incidents have emerged in the recent past. Earlier on September 5, a 12-year-old girl in Kerala passed away after being bitten by a stray. Reportedly, 21 people in Kerala have died of rabies only in this year so far.
