A man in his 30s sustained fatal injuries when he was attacked by two dogs this morning (Friday) at an address along Muir Avenue.
According to Capt Pearl van Staad, spokesperson for the Brakpan SAPS, the incident took place at around 8am.
“The victim was a regular gardener at the property and the owner would leave the gate open for him in the mornings,” she said.
“The dogs were kept in a separate section of the garden, but they managed to get out this morning.”
Police were notified of the attack by a woman at a neighbouring Muir Avenue property.
“Paramedics declared the man dead on the scene,” said van Staad.
“The homeowner was also notified.”
An inquest docket has been opened.
