Jonathan Fernandez, 22, and his mother Vijaya Francis, 40, were mauled by the dog who pounced on them, threw them to the ground and tore their clothes. He bit Jonathan on his hand. Passersby rushed to their rescue but the dog refused to let go, and had to be chased away with sticks.

Accused Allan

The quarrel broke out last Saturday, at Gandhi Street in Narayanapura, near KR Puram. Vijaya said she had objected to her neighbour Allan, a self-employed man, entering the frontyard of her house with his German Shepherds. Allan has four pets, who poop in the same place every day, Vijaya alleged.

Injured Jonathan

“Allan asked me whether I had seen the dog dirtying the yard. When Jonanthan said he had, Allan set one of his dogs on him, which bit him. Then, Allan attacked me and my son,” she said. Jonathan, a diploma holder in electronics, is still in hospital with a fractured hand.

Later, Vijaya met Allan’s grandmother Rani, requesting her to advise the latter. “To my shock, she too abused us. I’ve filed a complaint against Allan and Rani,” she said. Allan was arrested and released on bail. “We’ve warned him against indulging in such activities,” police said.
