A 27-year-old woman was bitten by a dog on Monday evening in Gramastetten (district of Urfahr-Umgebung). The four-legged animal jumped over a garden fence and bit the woman from Schardenberg (district of Schärding), who was walking by with her dog, in the thigh.

A 14-year-old girl rushed to help the woman from Innviertel until the animal let go of her and was brought into the house by its 68-year-old owner, the police reported. The 27-year-old was taken to the hospital in Linz after receiving emergency medical care.
