An argument between two dog owners in Eindhoven got out of hand on Thursday evening and ended in a stabbing. A man and his dog were stabbed by another dog owner. The suspect, a 43-year-old Eindhove resident, was arrested at home and is in custody.
This happened on Thursday evening around seven o’clock on Treurenburgstraat. The men encountered each other while walking their dogs and an altercation quickly ensued. Over time, both dogs started fighting each other.
The later stabbing victim tried to separate the four-legged friends, but was unsuccessful. When this man then wanted to protect his dog, the other man stabbed him. The victim’s dog was also hit.
