The two owners tried to separate the dogs, during which the 79-year-old was bitten in the arm by the woman's dog. When the emergency services arrived, he collapsed - presumably due to the significant blood loss, according to the police.

He was resuscitated by the emergency doctor using a defibrillator. After stabilization, he was admitted to the Gmunden clinic.
