THIS morning at around 11am a Tongaat senior citizen was treated for life-threatening injuries after being attacked by a dog while visiting a private home.
Netcare 911 paramedics on scene said upon their arrival they found the man had been dragged to the ground by his arm, before the flesh of his face was ‘ripped off and devoured’.
The incident took place in Sauders Circle.
‘Our emergency care practitioner and his team worked tirelessly at the scene to stabilise the man,’ said Netcare’s Chris Botha.
‘After he was placed on a ventilator, they transported him to a specialised hospital in Durban for the care that he required.’
