Foreign worker saves victim after he runs into the sea to escape pack.
An eight-year-old boy, Azuar Firdaus Zuraiman, was injured in a dog attack at Kuala Kemasin beach in Bachok, Kelantan, on Thursday morning. The incident occurred around 9:30 am when the boy, along with five other relatives, was playing on the beach. According to Bachok police chief Ismail Jamaluddin, a nearby resort worker lodged a report about the attack.
Azuar suffered bite wounds to his head and neck during the encounter. His father, Zuraiman Mahmod, 47, recounted that the children fled when the dogs approached, but Azuar fell and was subsequently attacked. Despite fighting off the dogs and running into the sea, they continued to chase him until the water reached his neck. A foreign worker intervened, chasing the dogs away and rescuing Azuar.
The injured boy was taken to the Balai health clinic before being transferred to Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II in Kota Bharu, where his wounds were stitched.
