Dog bites 29 people in less than an hour on busy Chennai road, beaten to death

A stray dog in Chennai bit 29 people in less than an hour before being killed by locals who suspected it may have been rabid. Witnesses said the dog suddenly attacked pedestrians, biting their ankles and feet. Of those attacked, 24 had deep cuts and bleeding, with possible saliva transfer. The injured were admitted to a nearby hospital, where they received treatment for rabies prevention. The Greater Chennai Corporation rounded up 32 dogs for observation. Rabies tests can only be done on dead dogs, making it difficult to confirm if the dog was infected.
