On September 4th local time, Indian media outlets such as the Hindustan Times and the India Express reported on an astonishing incident: two stray dogs in India helped a 16-year-old boy avoid being attacked by a mentally ill woman who was attempting to commit sexual assault.
The report cites information from the police, stating that the incident occurred in the early morning of September 3rd. At that time, the woman was sitting near several stray dogs, and a boy approached her with inappropriate intentions. Two stray dogs stepped forward to intervene, and the boy picked up stones to try to drive them away. However, the dogs soon returned and barked at him.
The boy then approached the woman and attempted to molest her. The woman began screaming, and one of the dogs suddenly rushed at the boy, biting his leg and pulling him away from the woman. Other dogs in the distance also heard the noise and came over. The boy was forced to flee the scene, and the dog that had been biting him continued to chase him for a while.
The police revealed that the woman suffers from mental disorders and lives nearby. These two stray dogs often accompany her on a daily basis. The boy has been arrested and taken to a juvenile detention center. The police say the boy has a habit of drinking alcohol and suspect that he was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.
Regarding how the case was discovered, there are different reports in Indian media: Some media claim that the police accidentally caught this attempted sexual assault while reviewing surveillance footage from a nearby arson case. Other reports suggest that the woman told her uncle, who lived with her, about it, and he then called the police.
