Two Rottweilers broke free, possibly by tearing through a fence, and unleashed chaos on Sunday morning in Šimůnkova Street, Kobylisy (Prague 8).
Their rampage left one dog dead, another dog injured, and a woman hurt. Police have launched an investigation into the attack.
The incident was reported to emergency line 158 early Sunday morning.
“We received information that two dogs were roaming the streets, attacking people and other dogs,” said police spokesman Jan DanÄ›k. Upon arrival, officers identified the two animals as Rottweilers.
“It appears they broke through their owner’s fence and escaped,” DanÄ›k added.
The consequences of the attack were serious. One dog was fatally injured, while another dog and a woman sustained non-fatal injuries. “The dogs’ owner was contacted and has since secured the animals. The police are now investigating the entire matter,” DanÄ›k explained.
Although the situation was alarming, emergency medical services were not called to the scene, according to rescue service spokesperson Karel Kirs.
Authorities are continuing to evaluate the circumstances leading to the dogs’ escape and subsequent attacks.
