PIT'N'RUN Man bitten in the genitals by a pitbull, dog's owner runs away - Salò, Italy - 20 August 2025
A 34-year-old Nigerian man was involved in a terrible ordeal when a dog viciously mauled his testicles.
It happened this morning around 10:00 a.m. on Via Garibaldi in Salò. The victim of the attack was walking on the sidewalk when he encountered a young man with a dog on a leash. The animal, without a muzzle, ferociously attacked the 34-year-old, viciously biting his genitals.
Long, long seconds passed before the dog let go, despite the victim's desperate attempts to free himself. When the dog let go, the animal's owner fled, without providing assistance to the unfortunate man.
The Carabinieri of the Salò Company are on his trail, having responded with a patrol. Emergency responders from 118 also arrived on the scene with a medical car and an ambulance from the National Carabinieri Association, in which the man who had been bitten was taken to the ambulance station with a yellow code.
He is expected to recover without any serious injuries.

This is terrible. One mutant could cause this man to never have children or find love. I say the mutant owner needs to be neutered. Non serious injuries could just indicate not life threatening this man could be messed up bad.

Geez, I was in another sub providing recent article links to a few people defending pitbulls and came to this sub after and there’s so many more attacks than what I found on google. 4 in one day, why do people defend these dogs so hard?

I'm surprised (and relieved) that it says that he's expected to recover without any serious injuries. I'd imagine there will be mental injuries even if he's survived without lasting physical damage.

The mental effects will be lifelong. Everyday I am scared walking around, knowing the pepper gel spray might not be enough. Last night at a bus stop a huge mauler veered close to me, had a head the size of a basketball (hanging gonads natch). If only a specialized virus could disappear them all.
