Boy injured in fresh wolf attack in UP's Bahraich
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, an eight-year-old boy was injured in a wolf attack while playing outside his home in the Mahsi tehsil here, his family alleged on Friday.
The boy has suffered injuries, including some on his face, and has been hospitalized, a government doctor said.
In the last two months, Bahraich district has recorded eight deaths, including seven children in a series of attacks by wolves while around three dozen other people were left injured, according to official figures.
The latest attack took place Thursday evening at the Golwa village of the Mahsi tehsil -- a rural area a little closer to the city but away from the areas of all the previous attacks.
Sangam Lal's mother Phoolmati told the news agency PTI, "The child was playing near the door of the house. Then the wolf knocked him down and injured him. As soon as the wolf knocked him down, the child started screaming. When we all heard the scream, we ran shouting. Hearing the noise, the wolf left the child and ran away. We all have seen the wolf running away."
The local medical college's principal Dr. Sanjay Khatri said that the child was attacked from behind by the wolf.
"He is being treated after being admitted to the medical college. The child has suffered super facial injuries on the left side of his cheek and neck, and has been given two stitches. The child's condition is out of danger," Khatri said.
