his dog on a tavern owner after an argument over change.
Hoping to teach the tavern owner a lesson, the patron went home to fetch his vicious dog but the tavern owner saw the dog charging and locked himself inside his house.
The animal then attacked a woman who was just passing by, biting off a chunk of her face.
Mbali Zulu (23) is now in hospital where doctors are trying to repair the damage to her face while cops wait for her to be released to open a case against the dog owner.
Speaking from her hospital bed Mbali said she had been coming from a friend's house on Saturday when the dog attacked her.
"I felt the dog jumping on me and then I fought with it," said Mbali.
She said people ran to their houses to hide – they were too scared to try and help her.
"I screamed but the owner of the dog didn't come out to the street."
Mbali said her boyfriend is worried about how she will look when she's discharged from hospital.
SPCA spokeswoman Chris Kuch said anyone who was attacked, or the parent of a child who was bitten, may lay a charge and try to recover their medical expenses in court.
She said the SPCA had since removed the dog. A Vosloorus police spokesman said Mbali could open a case once she was fit to do so.
