In a harrowing incident in Sydney, a 55-year-old man is in a critical condition after being viciously attacked by two dogs inside an apartment. The distressing event unfolded on Pyrmont Bridge Road in Camperdown late in the morning, prompting a neighbor to urgently contact emergency services around 10 a.m. to report the attack.

Upon arrival, police were confronted with a challenging scene as they had to forcibly enter the unit to reach the injured man, who had taken refuge on the balcony. The victim sustained severe injuries to both his arms and legs during the attack.

Paramedics swiftly administered first aid at the scene before the man was transported to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. His condition remains critical as medical staff continue to provide intensive care.

Meanwhile, the two dogs involved in the assault have been seized as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding this alarming incident.

The man was treated at the scene by paramedics before being rushed to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in a critical condition.

The City of Sydney Council has seized two dogs believed to be involved in the attack and is holding them at Sutherland Animal Shelter as investigations continue.

A third dog, which is a puppy, is being held by police before it is transferred to the RSPCA.

”We investigate all dog attacks and have a range of actions we can then take depending on the nature of the specific incident and available evidence and severity of the attack,” a council spokesperson said.

“This may include issuing fines, and orders (declaring the dogs either menacing or dangerous) or initiate court proceedings where a magistrate may issue instruction to have the animal euthanised.”

Council and police are investigating the incident.
