Dramatic attack in the forest under Green Mountain
The tragedy happened on Sunday, 12 October, near ILO Racila on the S3 route. The truck driver, 46-year-old Marcin of Puławy, stopped for a break on the road. He decided to take time off and went to the nearby forest for mushrooms. He was unexpectedly attacked by three large dogs who escaped from a nearby shooting range.
The man still managed to call 911. By the time the paramedics arrived, he was in critical condition. With lacerations to his legs and hands, he was transported to the University Hospital in Zielona Góra.
The Fight for Life and the Tragic Final
The doctors immediately began fighting for his life. The 46-year-old underwent several major surgeries, but his condition remained extremely severe. He also suffered from cooling his body, because he lay in the woods for a long time before help came. Despite the great efforts of the medics, he died Wednesday morning.
According to hospital spokeswoman Sylvia Malcher-Nowak, it was one of the most severe bite casesAs seen in the facility. His partner in talking to the media said Martin was strong and athletic, but with three dogs he had no chance.
Investigation and outrage of the people of Racila
The case was handled by the Green Mountain District Attorney's Office. According to spokeswoman Ewa Antonowicz, investigators determine why dogs got out of private property. According to local sources, they belonged to the owner of a nearby shooting range.
The people of Racula are shocked and demand consequences for the animal owner. As they stress, this was not the first case of dog aggression in this area. Two years ago, a woman and a child were killed in a similar attack.
Many inhabitants of Zielona Góra are afraid to go for a walk in the forest today, especially during the mushroom season. "Man should not die just because someone has not taken care of their dogs" – this is the most repeated sentence in local online groups
