In Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, a sexually assaulted attempt targeting a mentally ill woman was thwarted by two stray dogs according to CCTV footage and police reports. The incident occurred near a railway overbridge in the Thudiyalur area around midnight on Thursday.
A 16-year-old boy reportedly approached the woman, who had been sleeping by the roadside, and allegedly began molesting her. The stray dogs, which regularly accompanied the woman, began barking aggressively and attacked the boy, forcing him to flee the scene. The dogs reportedly continued to chase the juvenile after he escaped.
The footage was discovered during a police investigation into a separate fire incident in the area, which led to a parallel probe into the alleged assault attempt. The accused was later arrested from the Ganesh Nagar area. Ongoing investigations are examining the circumstances surrounding the incident.
