Noida, 07 February 2026:
A shocking stray dog attack inside a residential society injured a young child, raising serious concerns over public safety and animal control.
A disturbing incident occurred on Friday evening at Sikka Karnik Greens Society in Sector-78, Noida, where a young child was attacked by a group of stray dogs inside the society premises. The child was returning home with a chocolate when the dogs suddenly lunged at him and bit his head.
According to eyewitnesses, the attack happened within seconds, leaving the child with deep head injuries and heavy bleeding. Residents nearby rushed to the spot, drove the dogs away, and immediately took the injured child to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Doctors confirmed that timely medical intervention helped stabilize the child’s condition.
The entire incident was captured on the society’s CCTV cameras. The footage shows the child walking alone when multiple dogs surround him, followed by a sudden attack. The video has heightened fear and anxiety among residents, especially parents of young children.
Following the incident, residents strongly demanded immediate action from the civic authorities to address the growing stray dog menace. They stated that complaints regarding the increasing number of stray dogs in the society had been raised earlier, but effective action was lacking.
Residents expressed concern that children, elderly people, and morning walkers remain vulnerable due to inadequate control measures. They urged authorities to ensure proper identification, vaccination, sterilization, and monitoring of stray dogs to prevent such incidents in the future.
Medical experts emphasized that anti-rabies treatment is critical after any dog bite and advised parents not to delay medical attention in such cases.
The incident once again highlights the urgent need for a balanced and effective approach toward stray animal management and public safety in urban residential areas. Local authorities are reported to be reviewing the matter and considering necessary preventive measures.
