Because their pitbull who was not wearing a muzzle attacked and seriously injured a septuagenarian two days ago in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon (Gard), a mother and her son in their twenties were indicted on Saturday , we learned from the Nîmes prosecution.
They were charged with involuntary injuries by assaulting a first category dog with the aggravating circumstance that he did not have a muzzle, and placed under judicial supervision, said the prosecution.
Two other women slightly injured
Thursday, a 75-year-old woman was transferred in critical condition to Marseille after being attacked in the face and throat by their pit bull, in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon (Gard). His condition has since improved, according to the Nîmes prosecution.
The dangerous dog, who was not on a leash and escaped from its owner, attacked three women. Seriously injured after being attacked on the face and throat, the 75-year-old woman was evacuated by helicopter to Marseille.
The other two women, aged 70 and 33, bitten in the legs and slightly injured, were transferred to Avignon. The dog, who then fled, was finally killed after two hours of searching, according to the Nîmes public prosecutor, Eric Maure.
