THEY BECAME HEROES WHEN SHE NEEDED THEM MOST..! – PACK OF DOGS SAVED TWO WOMEN FROM AN ALLEGED S3XUAL ASSAULT IN MELBOURNE.
A suspected sex attacker was forced to run for his life after six dogs sprang to the defence of their owners, chasing him through a Melbourne park in a dramatic pursuit caught on camera.
Extraordinary footage has emerged of the rescue after the broad-daylight attack at Righetti Oval in Kooyong on Tuesday morning.
Two women were walking along Gardiners Creek with their dogs when they were ambushed by a man who leapt from bushes and grabbed one of them.
After she broke free, the man allegedly targeted the second woman, who also managed to fight him off.
The women’s dogs then turned on the alleged attacker, forcing him to flee into a tunnel beneath the Monash Freeway.
Footage filmed by one of the women shows six dogs of various breeds and sizes barking furiously as they chase the man through the park.
A blue heeler leapt up and latched onto the man’s leg, ripping his pants.
The man can be heard yelling at the dogs before eventually escaping. He remains on the run.
