The child was playing with his ball when it went into the neighbour’s yard. He went to fetch the ball and that’s when the dog attacked him.

His grandmother and neighbours heard the boy’s screams for help and immediately rushed out of their houses to see what was going on.

They found Rezale lying on the ground, covered in blood, and the Pit Bull savaging the little boy’s arm.

In a state of panic and shock, the grandmother and neighbours successfully managed to separate the dog and the boy. The six-year-old was rushed to hospital. He sustained head and back injuries, his arm is crushed, and he bruised his face.
