Dog Barking Leads to Knife Attack and Brawl in Kaohsiung, Taiwan

A dispute over a barking dog escalates into violence in Fengshan District, resulting in multiple injuries and legal action.

A violent altercation occurred in Fengshan District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, early on the morning of December 25th. The incident stemmed from a disagreement over a barking dog, escalating into a physical confrontation involving a knife and a metal bar.

According to reports, Huang, a 50-year-old resident, was angered by the persistent barking of a dog owned by his neighbor, Su. The noise reportedly disrupted Huang's sleep, prompting him to confront Su at his residence. Their initial argument quickly escalated.

Following the argument, Huang returned to his home and retrieved a folding knife. He then went back to Su's residence and stabbed Su in the abdomen. Witnessing the attack, Su's twin sons, aged 22, intervened, using a metal bar to retaliate against Huang. The ensuing fight resulted in injuries to all involved.

Emergency services were called to the scene at approximately 5:00 AM. Upon arrival, they found Huang with stab wounds, Su suffering from injuries, and the twin sons with minor injuries. All four individuals were transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Following an investigation, the police arrested Huang and will charge him with attempted murder. Su and his two sons face charges of aggravated assault. The case is now under investigation by the local prosecutor's office.
