Eleven-year-old girl attacked by off-leash dog in Norrköping, owner convicted and ordered to pay 100,600 kronor

The incident occurred in 2023 when the girl was on her way home from school. She was bitten on the face, hand and hip and was taken to hospital for treatment.

Now, Norrköping District Court has sentenced the dog's owner to a daily fine for causing bodily harm. The court finds that the woman did not adequately supervise her dogs.

In addition, the dog owner must pay the girl 100,600 kronor in damages, which the court justified by the scars the girl received in the attack.

The dog was euthanized shortly after the incident.
