Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 04:02 · Archive
A 37-year-old real estate agent was mauled by two dogs in a Brisbane park on Friday evening.
Ajay Malik, 37, a real estate agent, was attacked by two dogs while running through 7th Brigade Park in Chermside on Friday evening. First responders assisted him while the dogs were still attacking. He suffered serious injuries and was rushed to Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital for urgent care.
Malik's family have started a GoFundMe campaign seeking $300,000 to help him and his wife with medical and living costs. Campaign organiser Aryan Sirohi said Malik faced 'a long recovery, both physically and emotionally' and would be unable to work for an extended period, resulting in significant lost income at a time when rehabilitation costs were mounting.
Two days after the attack, the body of a 48-year-old man was discovered in bushes near Kittyhawk Drive in the same area. Police and Brisbane City Council officers were investigating when the body was found. The man was known to sleep rough in the bushland where police believe a small number of homeless people had been staying in makeshift camps. Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham said a post-mortem had been completed but key questions remained unanswered.
