In Maringá, located in northern Paraná, a service provider sustained serious injuries after being attacked by two pit bulls while he was installing a door at a residential property. The incident occurred on Thursday, and bystanders reported hearing screams coming from the backyard, prompting them to alert emergency services. Upon arrival, the firefighters found the man with multiple injuries, notably risking the loss of an arm due to the severity of the attack.

The service provider was immediately assisted by the Emergency Trauma Integrated Service (Siate) and transported to Santa Casa de Maringá, where he remains hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The rapid response from pedestrians and emergency crews likely prevented further complications. Authorities are now investigating the incident to understand how the dogs were able to escape and attack the worker.

This alarming event raises concerns about safety regulations regarding pets, particularly aggressive breeds like pit bulls, and highlights the responsibility of pet owners to secure their animals effectively. Such incidents can have significant implications for local communities, especially where dangerous breeds are prevalent. The response from the local government and potential changes to regulations regarding pet ownership may come under scrutiny as a result of this attack.
