A Jogger was attacked by a Pitbull while exercising in Brindhaven – KZN yesterday (Thursday, 23/07/2026).
Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) received a call for medical assistance. On arrival, Reaction Officers established that a 38-year-old man had sustained injuries after being attacked by a Pitbull.
The man and his wife were on their usual afternoon run along Glenhaven Drive when the gate to a residence was allegedly left open. As the couple passed the property, two (2) dogs, a Rottweiler and a Pitbull, ran out of the yard.
The Pitbull charged at the Jogger and inflicted bite wounds to his right leg before the dogs were restrained.
He informed Officers that a vehicle was parked outside the property and the gate had been left open. He added that he and his wife use the same route every alternate day and were unaware that dogs were kept at the residence.
The male was treated on scene by Paramedics before being expedited to hospital by ambulance.
