The incident occurred around 5:30 PM in an area on the outskirts of the city. According to police sources, the dog, which was loose and without a muzzle, accompanied by a 51-year-old woman who was not its owner, lunged at a family group.

The animal first attacked a 44-year-old woman and her 24-year-old daughter, causing minor injuries to their left forearms. Subsequently, it attacked the 4-year-old grandson, inflicting injuries considered minor on both shoulders, buttocks, and back, although it is not determined if they are direct bites or abrasions from falls.

The woman walking the dog attempted to control the animal during the attack and suffered the most serious injury when part of her left ear was torn off by a bite. She was urgently transferred to the General Doctor Balmis Hospital in Alicante for reconstructive surgery.

The grandmother, her daughter, and the minor were treated at the Eldense Hospital, where they received care for their minor injuries. Their condition is mild, but medical follow-up is maintained.

This incident reopens the debate on the prevention and regulation of potentially dangerous dogs, which require the mandatory use of a muzzle and leash in public areas. The Local Police in Valencian municipalities have jurisdiction over the control of these animals.
