Young Boy, Throwing Stones At Stray Dog, Narrowly Escapes Attack In Bengaluru, Chilling Video Emerges

Bengaluru: A CCTV footage recording shows a young boy narrowly escaping an attack attempt from a stray dog. The incident took place in Ramamurthy Nagar NRI Colony in Bengaluru. The young boy escaped unharmed with no injuries reported following the attack.

On August 9, a young boy was playing on the street when a stray dog passed by. The boy threw stones at the stray, prompting the latter to attempt an attack. Scared, the young boy began running, and the dog chased him for a while until the pre-adolescent fell. While the boy tried to get back on his feet, the animal left the scene, most likely on spotting others on the street.

Another lady came out of her house on hearing the boy crying and picked him up to comfort him. The age and other details of the kid remain unknown. The entire incident was caught on camera.
