Sydney Man Injured in Camperdown Unit Dog Attack as Council Seizes Three Dogs

City of Sydney says an investigation under the Companion Animals Act could lead to penalties or dangerous-dog orders.

Overview

  • Paramedics treated a 55-year-old man at a Pyrmont Bridge Road unit and took him to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, with police later describing his condition as stable after initial reports he was critical.
  • Emergency crews were called about 10am, and NSW Ambulance reported the man suffered injuries to his arms.
  • City of Sydney rangers seized two dogs believed to be involved and a third puppy, with the adult dogs held at Sutherland Animal Shelter and the puppy to be transferred to the RSPCA.
  • Council officials are assessing evidence and say possible outcomes include fines, dangerous-animal declarations, or a magistrate-ordered euthanasia.
  • Reports differ on whether one or two dogs carried out the attack and on the full extent of the injuries, which remain under investigation.
