The series of screen grabs from the CCTV footage shows how the dog attacked the delivery person
I don`t know how I survived,” said a Zomato delivery person who was attacked by a pet German Shepherd, who snapped at his crotch in the lift at Indiabulls Greens Marigold CHS in Panvel on Saturday evening. The victim, Narendra Periyar, 33, had just stepped out of the lift when the incident took place. He is currently undergoing treatment at DY Patil Medical College and Hospital in Nerul, the cost of which is being borne by the dog owner.
Periyar, a resident of sector 3 Kalamboli, said, “After making the delivery, when I came down, I saw a huge dog. Before I could realise what’s happening the dog had attacked me. I somehow managed to free myself and ran toward the parking area while writhing in pain. It was after I was at a safe distance that I realised I was bleeding heavily. Some onlookers took me to MGM Hospital in Kamothe where the doctors stitched the wounds and gave me anti-rabies injection before discharge.”
