The Sinnai carabinieri have started investigations to trace the owner of the large dog that the other night repeatedly bitten a 35-year-old in the arm in the town of Settimo San Pietro.
The station soldiers have questioned several people: they try to establish whether the animal is a stray or if it has escaped the owner.
The victim was in Settimo with friends when around 4 in the morning, she went out onto the street to reach the car parked nearby. Suddenly the young man was repeatedly bitten in the arm. He got into his car and went to the hospital where the doctors treated him and discharged him with a prognosis of twenty days.
On the investigations, the carabinieri maintain strict confidentiality. The phenomenon of stray dogs in Settimo has been worrying for years: it is not the first time, among other things, that aggressions have been recorded. The custody in the kennel of the animals that are captured costs the coffers of the Municipality about 100 thousand euros per year.
