A wild grey wolf attacked and injured Artur Sargsyan in the face outside his home in the village of Brnakot.

The 30-year-old man was bitten as he went out to investigage his dog’s anxious barking on January 9th. After wounding Artur, the wolf attacked 55-year-old Armida Grigoryan, another resident of the village, and her son, who had responded to his mother’s screams.

 

The wolf went on to savage two young men in the street, causing bodily injuries.

 

But by then, the wild animal had reached the town of Sisian and attacked Mher Poghosyan, aged 24, after entering a house.

Poghosyan’s father managed to kill the beast with several blows to the head with the butt of his rifle. Mher Poghosyan received injuries to his hands and face from the wolf and joined its other victims at Aghitu military hospital. The service said that two of the seven injured people were allowed home after medical treatment.
