The "acute danger situation on site" had ended the police forces by shooting the pit bull terrier, police said Wednesday night (May 31).

The pit bull had run out of his owner's apartment into a parking lot on Wednesday evening at around 19:15 p.m. There, the situation escalated. The aggressive dog first bit a child (2) in the arm, who is carried by his grandmother in his arms. Then the pit bull also attacked the 54-year-old grandmother and bit her in the face. The protective mother (31) of the child also bit the animal in the arm. Saving someone from a biting dog can end badly, as a case from the USA proves.
According to the police, two acquaintances of the dog owner tried to catch the pit bull and calm it down. They also suffered bite wounds to their arms and legs. The dog did not even stop at its owner. The 63-year-old, who later rushed to it, could no longer control her dog and was bitten in the leg, police said. Then shots were fired that killed the Pittbull. Several ambulances were deployed to transport the injured to hospitals. Against the drunken dog owner (63), the police initiated an investigation, according to their own statements.
