Pack of 20 Stray Dogs Attack 8-Year-Old Boy in Shocking Community Incident; Residents Demand Action
An 8-year-old boy was mauled by a pack of roughly 20 stray dogs while riding an electric motorcycle through a Nakhon Ratchasima community, prompting residents to demand urgent action against the area's dangerous stray dog population.
A pack of approximately 20 stray dogs attacked an 8-year-old boy in Khlong Soi Mun Mon community, Khlong Phai Subdistrict, Si Khit District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province on May 8, 2026. The incident was documented on CCTV and occurred when the child was riding an electric motorcycle through an intersection within the community before being swarmed and mauled by the dogs, causing injuries that shocked residents in the area.
Following the attack, relatives rushed the boy to the hospital for wound treatment and rabies vaccination. The child is now experiencing fear and refuses to travel through the area again due to the large population of stray dogs inhabiting the neighborhood.
The Khlong Phai Municipal Administration has recently launched field inspections of homes keeping dogs in the area to develop action plans and prevent future incidents. Local residents are calling on relevant authorities to urgently and seriously address the stray dog problem, noting that people have been chased and bitten multiple times in the past. They express concern that without intervention, similar or more severe incidents could occur involving other children and adults.
