sandgrubber Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Canberra man found 'covered in blood' after dog attack DateJanuary 23, 2014 - 9:59AM A 71-year-old man was found "covered in blood and with numerous injuries" after a dog attack on the front lawns of Old Parliament House on Wednesday, police said. Police were called to the scene about 10.40am after receiving reports of two men fighting, with one man beating the other with a large stick. When they arrived, police found the victim bloody and injured and he was taken to Canberra Hospital for treatment. The Parkes resident said he had been attacked by a man and his dog - believed to be a bull mastiff, or a similar breed - which he claimed had mauled him. "It is alleged the offender threatened to attack him further," police said. Police arrested a 40-year-old man at about 12.15pm and charged him with assault and allowing a dog to attack a person. The man was notified his dog would be seized by Domestic Animal Services. He will face court next month.

Fortunately, such people are few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 There's not a lot of information in that article, but it suggests to me that both the men are residents of the tent embassy at Old Parliament House, given that they say the victim is a resident of Parkes (and I'm presuming they mean the suburb in the ACT, not Parkes NSW) and that the attack happened on the lawns of OPH. Not that I want to downplay this incident at all, but the brawling is a fairly common occurrence amongst these residents. Involving his dog and using a stick against an elderly man is sickening, regardless of the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That place should be taken down, a lot has gone in the past couple of years, it served it's purpose in it's day but needs to go completely.

Simply Grand Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm told the attacker/dog owner is a tent embassy resident, don't know about the other man but it does see likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
