Hong Kong police and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) have captured three stray dogs following a fatal dog attack on a woman in Yuen Long. The incident occurred on Saturday night, when a 27-year-old woman died from head and neck injuries after being chased by the dogs on Pok Wai South Road. CCTV footage showed the woman cycling on the road around 11:40 PM on Saturday, with the dogs chasing her for about 15 minutes before disappearing.
No suspicious individuals or vehicles were observed in the vicinity. The woman's belongings were found intact, and her body showed injuries to her head, face, neck, legs, and arms. Authorities are investigating if the dogs have been microchipped. This latest incident follows a series of fatal dog attacks in Yuen Long, including one in August where a Spanish mastiff killed two smaller dogs.
The AFCD has since designated several fighting dogs, including Pit Bull Terriers, as subject to strict regulations.
