Pit bull mauls child to death in East London
A 15-month-old child has been mauled to death by a pit bull on a farm near East London.
Eastern Cape police spokesperson Tembinkosi Kinana says the child was playing with the neighbour’s’ dog when he was attacked.
“The boy child was playing with the neighbour’s dog when a passerby, who was walking with a dog in the proximity of the yard, was seen by the pit bull.
“It is further alleged that the pit bull attempted to get out of the yard whilst barking at the passing dog.
“After failing to leave the yard, the pit bull is alleged to have returned the child and bit him in the upper body.
“Subsequent to the incident, the paramedics were called to transport the child to a nearby hospital, where he was reported to have succumbed to injuries sustained.”
