On Wednesday evening, August 28, an incident occurred in the Nicosia area of Agios Dometios, during which a pit bull attacked its owner and was shot by a neighbor.
The 61-year-old man was sitting in his garden at around 8pm when his dog suddenly attacked him. A neighbor, a 78-year-old man, heard the noise and screams and tried to intervene. At first he tried to scare away the aggressive dog by spraying it with water from a hose, but this did not help. The elderly man decided to act more radically; he ran to his home, took a shotgun and shot the naughty dog.
The injured owner is currently being treated at Nicosia General Hospital for injuries to his left arm.
Police continue to investigate the circumstances of the incident.
