In a startling incident on July 25th, a German Shepherd jumped out of a second-floor apartment window, landing directly on a 21-year-old woman walking on the sidewalk below. Lublin police reported that the dog likely panicked due to a thunderstorm.
The incident occurred around 4:00 PM on 1 Maja Street. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found that the dog had jumped from the open window, landed on the woman, and then fled across the street.
The young woman was immediately taken to the hospital. Thankfully, her injuries are not life-threatening.
The dog’s owner was not home at the time of the incident. He admitted to leaving the window open before stepping out. The owner, who was sober upon his return, may face charges for failing to properly secure his pet.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the event.
