A 35-year-old father of six, died after being attacked by three dogs while walking home from a bus stop in Detroit.
The attack occurred in the area of West Chicago and Longacre Street. As a result of the attack, the victim had his right arm amputated, was placed on dialysis, underwent several blood transfusions, and was put in a medical-induced coma but did not survive.
The victim’s family has reportedly experienced significant trauma due to the incident. His wife of 11 years released a statement expressing their gratitude for the community’s support.
The family is suing the city of Detroit and the dogs’ owner. The three dogs involved in the attack have been euthanized, and a fourth dog was taken from the home and placed in quarantine.
The Detroit Police Department is investigating the incident. City officials reportedly stated that the incident was preventable, as the dogs’ owner did not follow the city’s regulations. The owner received a total of $5,000 in fines.
