Overview
- A leashed Pitbull jumped up and bit a 29-year-old man in the forearm through his long-sleeved jacket in Kirchditmold on Tuesday morning, and the victim sought medical treatment.
- The dog’s owner walked away with a companion after the bite and did not answer when the injured man asked whether the animal was vaccinated.
- The victim filed a police report the same evening at Polizeirevier Mitte and was unable to give a precise description because he was in shock.
- Kassel police have opened an investigation for negligent bodily harm and are asking anyone with information about the dog or the woman to call 0561-9100.
- The case raises questions about owner responsibility, possible follow-up on the dog’s vaccination status, and local animal-control procedures if the owner is identified.
