Second incident

Dog bites ten-year-old boy’s cheek

Yet another dog bite is reported in which a child was seriously injured. This time it didn't happen to his own four-legged friend, but during a visit to Schwanenstadt. A ten-year-old boy now has scars on his face and his cheek was seriously injured.

"Why don't you report on the serious dog bite in Schwanenstadt?" - "Krone" readers reacted after the report on Sunday about a beagle that had snapped a two-year-old boy in the face near Tragwein and slightly injured him.

Research revealed that there had actually been a serious dog attack in Schwanenstadt.

Father took son to hospital
During a visit, two dogs charged at a ten-year-old boy from Schwanenstadt and at least one of them jumped at him. The four-legged friend bit the pupil on the face and seriously injured his right cheek. The father took his seriously injured son to the nearest hospital, where the bite injuries had to be stitched up.

The dog's teeth had partially pierced the cheek next to the mouth, next to the nose and under the eye.
