The video, which has gone viral on microblogging site X, captures the woman walking along a residential street when a dog suddenly attacks her. She struggled to remove herself before she finally broke away. The clip also catches the same dog attacking a security guard earlier, whom it can be seen trying to fend off.

Seconds later, while the woman is being attacked, another pet dog on a leash with its owner comes to appear to attack her as well, as if escalating the situation.

Although early reports characterised the dog as a stray, some social media users have claimed that the attacking dog was actually a pet.

The video provoked strong responses online, with people reacting with anger towards both irresponsible pet ownership and also at bystander inaction. One user posted, “These incidents are becoming too frequent… now strays seem to have more rights than humans.” Another posted, “It’s not the dogs, it’s the careless owners people need to worry about.”

Others condemned bystanders in the video, calling them out for not stepping in during the attack.

There has not been any official comment so far by local authorities about the incident.
