The mother of the child filed a report stating that she resided in the Emirates Hills area and her 14-year-old son left the house, but upon entering the elevator, he was attacked by a dog inside, resulting in an injury to his right leg, so he was taken to the hospital for treatment.

The child's mother noted that the dog was with the maid, who failed to take precautions to avoid the danger posed by the dog, leading to the attack on her son and his injury.
