A six-year-old boy was left seriously injured in northwest Delhi’s Prem Nagar on Sunday afternoon after he was mauled by a neighbour’s pet pitbull while playing outside his house.
CCTV footage from the area shows the child running after a ball when the dog suddenly attacked at him, biting his head and ripping off his ear. Bystanders rushed to rescue the child, managing to pull him away from the dog, and one of them even collected the severed ear from the ground.

His father, a factory worker, immediately took him to a nearby hospital, where doctors treated deep facial injuries and broken teeth. The boy is now conscious and receiving medical care.
According to reports, police have arrested the dog’s owner on charges of negligence after neighbours said that previous complaints about the pitbull’s aggressive behaviour were ignored. Authorities have also seized the animal.
Speaking to ANI, an eyewitness said, “The dog suddenly attacked the kid who was playing near my shop, and dragged him… Such incidents have occurred before as well… The child has been admitted as of now…”
