Srinagar: A stray dog attacked and injured at least six persons in a village in north Kashmir’s Bandipora district on Wednesday.
A stray dog appeared in Malangam village of the district and ran amok biting at least half a dozen people before chased away by locals, reports said. All the injured were shifted to district hospital Bandipora and were given anti-rabies vaccine (ARV).
Medical Superintendent DH Bandipora, Dr Bashir said that free anti-rabies injections were given to all the six injured persons initially and they will be assisted in future courses as well.
