A stray dog caused widespread panic in Vasai by aggressively attacking nearly three dozen pedestrians within two hours in the Parnaka area late Saturday evening. The dog bit children and elderly people, leaving them with bleeding injuries. In its frenzy, it tore clothes and even muscle with its strong bite force.
The corridors of DM Petit hospital were crowded with dog bite victims, many bleeding profusely and some with grievous injuries. The anguished cries of injured children filled the air as they awaited treatment, while adult victims examined their torn clothes and bleeding wounds.
