Aggressive Dog Attacks Woman in Krakow
City Police in Krakow reported the incident via social media. Officers patrolling the Na Stoku neighborhood on Saturday evening (August 23) heard loud cries for help coming from a taxi stand.

Dog Owner Tried to Escape the Scene
At the scene, officers also noticed a mastiff dog being held by the woman’s husband. However, the animal’s owner began to distance himself upon seeing the officers. “The man behaved aggressively and did not respond to the officers’ commands, leading to the use of physical restraint and his subsequent handcuffing,” stated the Krakow City Police.
Dog Lacked Up-to-Date Vaccinations
