Man, dog stabbed in savage attack

A man and his dog were stabbed in a vicious attack in Melbourne’s south-east this morning.

The 56-year-old old man was walking his dog – an Australian bulldog named Hank – in Greaves Reserve in the Dandenong Showgrounds Park at the intersection of Cheltenham Road and Bennet Street about 9am when the dog approached a man riding a mountain bike.

Police said the man became agitated before getting off his bike and producing a kitchen knife, which he used to stab the dog in the head.

When the owner went to protect his pet, he was stabbed in the forearm by the man, who then fled on his bike — via redwolf.newsvine.com
