A young woman was seriously injured after being attacked by a pit bull belonging to her own family in the Campo Grande area, located in the western zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The incident, which reportedly occurred on April 6, has sparked widespread concern.

According to reports and videos circulating on social media, the victim—identified only by her nickname “Lele”—was attacked by the dog inside a residential property. The footage allegedly shows the animal being incited to attack by members of her own family, including her mother and brother.

The attack caused significant public outrage after the videos were shared online, with claims that the incident may have been intentional. A friend of the victim publicly defended her, stating that accusations suggesting she had provoked the situation were false and describing the act as a serious case of violence.

As of now, there is no official confirmation regarding the victim’s condition or whether authorities have formally launched an investigation. Law enforcement agencies have not yet released a statement addressing the incident.

The case continues to draw attention as calls grow for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack.
