Three dogs escaped through a hole in a fence and attacked a toddler on the street.

A two-year-old boy was mauled by three dogs on Rahima Moosa Road in Waterloo, north of Durban, KZN, yesterday.

Prem Balram, the spokesperson for Reaction Unit South Africa, says they received multiple calls from the public requesting urgent medical assistance for the child at 15:00.

He says when the child was examined by reaction officers attending the scene, they found that he had suffered deep lacerations to his legs and face. He was taken to hospital.

“It was established that the child was playing with friends on the road when three mongrel dogs escaped through a hole in the fence and attacked the child.”
