"I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WALKING"

Eser Alkurt, who was attacked, said, "While dropping off goods at a nut wholesaler in Maltepe, a pitbull jumped over the wall from the adjacent yard. I was with a friend, and it first attacked him, dragging him on the ground for about 5 minutes while we tried to save him, but it didn't work. My friend then jumped over the wall, and then the dog came at me, biting my leg. We fought hard, but I couldn't shake it off my leg. We experienced such an unfortunate event. I have very large cuts and wounds on my leg, but they couldn't stitch it because it was a dog bite. There is damage to the tendons, and I am having difficulty walking. The owner of the dog acted as if the dog was stray. She neither called me nor asked how I was; she could have said 'get well soon' or apologized, but she didn't. I wasn't going to file a complaint, but after this attitude, I will. It could have been a child in my place. If it were a child, it could have torn off their leg. I still feel the pain in my leg. There are also videos; I screamed that my leg was torn off," he said.
