BANGKOK, Thailand – A 70-year-old woman has died after being attacked by a male pit bull she cared for at a home in Bangkok’s Bueng Kum district on 9 September 2026. Police said the woman was attempting to put a collar on the dog when it attacked her inside the property off Nawamin 111, Soi 7, and she was found dead with bite wounds to her neck and hands.

Lat Phrao police patrol officers were called at about 6.30pm to reports of a dog attacking its owner at the address in Nawamin subdistrict, with volunteers from the Pu-In Ruam Jai rescue foundation also attending the scene. The property consists of two adjoining houses linked by a fence that allows access between them, and the homes were undergoing renovation at the time.
Officers found the male pit bull within the grounds with bloodstains on its body and initially tried to lure the animal so they could catch it, but it moved away from them. The dog later went into its own enclosure, allowing officers to bring the immediate area under control. The dead woman was identified only as being 70 years old and the dog’s carer, and police said their initial inquiry indicated she had brought the dog over to fit it with a collar before the fatal attack occurred.
