The elder man of the family tried to stop him, but the neighbour hit his head with the rod as well. The younger man, who appears to be the son of the elder one, rushed to the rescue. They pushed the neighbour and got hold of his iron rod. Meanwhile, the elder woman seen in the CCTV checked on the injured dog and her husband.
Soon, more people from the neighbourhood came to the rescue and snatched the iron rod from the neighbour. The neighbour was visibly angry throughout the footage shared by Mohit. As per reports, three people were injured in the attack, and they were admitted to the hospital for treatment.
The neighbour attacked his female relative for stopping him
Just before the attack, the enraged neighbour had rushed to his house to pick up the iron rod. A woman who appeared to be his relative, possibly his wife, tried to stop him and grabbed his leg to stop him. The neighbour brutally assaulted her with the iron rod to get her off his leg. The video was also shared by Mohit on Twitter.
