Mendoza Neurosurgeon Recovers After Attack by Five Pit Bulls

Authorities say no criminal case is open because the victim has not filed a complaint.

Overview

  • Fabián Cremaschi was bitten by five pit bulls on Sunday while training along the perilago of Dique Potrerillos as he accompanied his wife and friends at the KUMEN Trail event.
  • Bystanders, race organizers, and the dogs' owner intervened to stop the mauling and rushed the doctor to Centro de Salud Nº 34 in Potrerillos.
  • He received first aid, sutures, and a rabies vaccine, was transferred to Hospital Central de Mendoza for further care, and was discharged the same day.
  • Cremaschi posted a public message thanking those who assisted him, emphasizing the rapid help that he said saved his life.
  • Comisaría 53 recorded the episode with an acta de oficio, and the Mendoza prosecutor’s office confirmed there is no active investigation because no formal complaint was filed.
