Where did the dog attack happen in Tokyo?
The attack occurred in a park in the city of Isezaki, located about 100 kilometers northwest of Tokyo, where a Shikoku Inu dog escaped from its owner’s house because it was tied to a leash, so it decided to escape after the gate opened.
According to the report released by the Isezaki Fire Department, at least 11 people were injured due to the attack this Wednesday, including nine children who were enjoying some leisure time in the park. The report detailed that the injuries mostly affected the victims’ legs, so most of them received medical attention at a nearby hospital.
