The leopard strayed into Patlipada area of the city on Sunday and attacked the dog near a powerhouse there, Thane's regional disaster management cell chief Santosh Kadam said.
Some residents alerted local authorities and raised safety concerns, following which the forest department launched a search, but the leopard is yet to be caught, he said.
