A reported sexual assault attempt in Coimbatore is foiled after two stray dogs intervene and attack the alleged attacker. According to police statements cited by multiple outlets, the incident involves a woman described as mentally ill who is approached near the Thudiyalur area, with an intoxicated youth/juvenile later identified as the suspect. CCTV footage shows the dogs barking and biting/attacking, which forces the person to flee.
The reports place the incident around midnight Thursday or early Friday near roadside and landmarks including a railway overbridge in Thudiyalur. Police say the same two dogs regularly accompany the woman, which may explain their alert response. Both outlets also state that CCTV footage plays a key role in the investigation, helping police identify and arrest the accused from a location in Ganesh Nagar.
While one outlet describes the suspect as intoxicated and another specifies the age as 16, the accounts converge on the core sequence: an alleged attempt, stray dogs intervening aggressively, and the attacker running away, followed by police action using the video evidence.
