A rabid dog went on a biting spree in Keezha Vaippar village at Vilathikulam taluk in which at least 10 persons, including women and children, were admitted to Thoothukudi Government Medical College hospital with serious bite injuries.
The dog started attacking one after the other on Sunday morning. Even as people tried to chase the animal away, it continued to attack all people who came on its way as it ran.
Resident Medical Officer of the hospital J. Silas Jeyamani said the wounds of the victims, comprising six women, two male and two children, were grievous in nature and, hence, they were admitted to the hospital. Treatment was under way. “Since the bites were on the head and face and they posed serious danger to the lives of the victims, we have admitted them as a precautionary measure.”
Besides, administering immunoglobulin injection, the doctors had given the first dose of anti-rabies vaccine.
One of the victims, Jesmitha, 23, had multiple dog bite injuries on her limbs, neck, ear and abdomen. “My wife came out of the house to dispose garbage when it started to bite her. Even as she struggled, the dog kept biting her. Only after neighbours chased the animal away, it left her,” said her husband Madhan.
The dog ran helter-skelter and repeatedly barged into different streets.
