Unknown dog owner pushes student (11) off his bike in Kelheim!
A disturbing incident occurred on Friday morning in Kelheim when an 11-year-old student was attacked by an unknown dog owner on his way to school. At around 7:20 a.m., the boy was driving on the sidewalk towards his educational institution when he encountered a man with a black dog. Suddenly the dog owner pushed the boy, who then fell to the ground and suffered several abrasions that required medical attention. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, but the incident left a disturbing impact on those involved. The dog owner continued on his way without stopping or helping the injured child. The Kelheim police station has already started an investigation into bodily harm and is asking the public for information about the unknown man or his dog. The investigators can be reached on (09441) 5042-0. This is reported by the Central Bavarian newspaper.
Another report from Regional reporter takes a closer look at the incident, but also emphasizes that the student was pushed completely suddenly. In the busy morning hours on the Europa Bridge, where this incident occurred, such bodily harm can have serious consequences for those affected. Awareness of the danger posed by inadequately supervised dogs should not be neglected.
Legal aspects of dog owner liability
A look at the legal framework shows that dog owners are liable under both civil and criminal law for damage caused by their animals. According to information from 123recht.de, the owner's duty of supervision always applies to injuries caused by dogs. While dangerous bodily harm is often associated with the use of the dog as a weapon, in this case negligent bodily harm caused by pushing the boy falls under the legal liability of the dog owner. Such an act can result in a prison sentence of up to three years, but has not yet been investigated in detail.
Clarifying the incident is not only important for the affected family, but also sheds light on the responsibility of every dog owner. The legal requirement for liability insurance for dog owners has only been mandatory since 2010 and has proven to be an important instrument for protecting the owner against possible damage. Young people and children in particular should be protected in their environment, which cannot be guaranteed if this type of incident occurs again.
