A young girl was viciously attacked by a dog inside an elevator at a housing society in Noida, injuring her hand. The incident took place at Lotus 300 Society, located in Noida Sector 107. The video of the incident recorded on CCTV shows the dog biting the girl’s arm as she stands alone in the lift and the girl shouting for help.  

The video reveals the moment the elevator doors open and the dog, unaccompanied, pounced at the girl, causing her to retreat in pain and clutch her injured arm. A subsequent scene displays a man outside the elevator intervening to shun the dog and protect the girl, who appears to be in distress in the video that later went viral on social media.

The girl, visibly shaken and in pain, was left alone in the elevator after the attack, seemingly crying and attempting to wipe her tears with her t-shirt. She eventually exits the elevator on the ground floor. Meanwhile, the housing society has not issued any statement regarding the incident so far.

The government has taken several steps to curb these incidents such as mandating the sterilisation of these pets by their owners and also issued several directives to prevent such attacks and the potential danger posed by dogs in housing society. However, this attack is the most recent in a series of dog attacks in Noida, subsequently occurring in several localities of Uttar Pradesh’s Gautam Buddha Nagar district.

Recently, in March, the central government directed states to ban the sale and breeding of 23 'ferocious dog' breeds in response to the growing concern over such incidents. These dog breeds include Pitbull Terriers, American Bulldogs, Rottweilers and Mastiffs.
