Mabarak Ali has been bed-ridden since the incident. He is currently at home but he cannot move his left hand.
The owner of the pit-bulls who lives a few houses away from Ali is refusing to talk about the incident.
A report has been made at the Kitty Police Station ever since the incident but according to the wife of the victim “no action has been taken”.
Reports are that Ali had left his home just after 05:00 hours on the 20 February, last, heading to the Kitty Masjid for his usual early morning prayers when the attack occurred.
Neighbours said that the vicious canines were earlier engaged in a bitter battle with some dogs in the area.
According to reports, Ali was just two yards from his home when the two pit bulls left their initial targets for the easier prey.
The dogs quickly brought him to the ground and as he desperately tried to ward them off, they tore into his hands and body.
His screams were heard by a female neighbour who herself raised an alarm.
When neighbours rushed at the scene, they said that Ali was groaning and he was praying and saying “Allah…… Allah”.
He was rushed to the Georgetown Hospital and was hospitalized for several days.
Ali’s wife, Khairoon Ali told Kaieteur News that after her husband got discharged, the doctor give her a “prescription” which indicates that he should visit the Out Patient Department at the hospital daily for “dressing”.
Mrs. Ali says that she is determined to get justice for her husband.
Meanwhile, one of the men who rescued Ali told Kaieteur News that he is concerned since the animals are still there and he is scared that that incident will be repeated.
When Kaieteur News tried to contact the pit bulls owner, Alex, his wife said that she will speak on his behalf but within a minute said that she is not capable of answering the questions.
Angry residents are now concerned about Ali’s wellbeing and are calling on the Police to conduct a thorough investigation.
