At around 9:45 a.m. yesterday, police received information that dogs had bitten a woman and two children in the Moni industrial area of Limassol.
Police officers attended the scene and found a 25-year-old woman along with two young children, aged six and three. The woman and the three-year-old had sustained injuries to various parts of their bodies and were taken by ambulance to Limassol General Hospital.
The three-year-old was discharged with instructions, while the 25-year-old required surgery to treat her wounds. Doctors have assessed her condition as stable and not life-threatening.
