We have all heard the saying that dogs are a man’s best friend, but seems like it that the sayings are actually true. In an incident which occurred in Chennai, two street dogs aka real life heroes caught a man who allegedly stabbed a woman and tried to escape from the place early morning 6:30 am. Suchismitha, a native of Kolkata was stabbed by a man when she was waiting for the bus at the T Nagar bus stand.

The man, identified as Raghunath, an ex-colleague of Suchismitha stabbed her on the right side of her stomach and when passersby tried to nab him, he threatened them with a knife. In an interview with The News Minute, an auto driver named Ramu who watched the entire incident said, “The man stabbed the woman and when two of us tried to stop him, he threatened us. Then two stray dogs started chasing him because of which the public caught him and handed him over to the police.”

Suchi was residing in a ladies’ hostel in T Nagar and walks to the bus stop every day to commute to her workplace. “He (Raghunath) was on a bike and threatened us with the knife. Someone called the two dogs, they came rushing and tried to bite him. He lost his balance and fell off from the bike,” the driver further added.

“The police station is near the place where the incident happened. When the man was running away, people standing on the street caught him and handed him to the police,” said Ravi, inspector of the police station, denying that the dogs actually helped.
