A frightening scene played out inside a lift at Sheth Irene, a high-rise tower in Malad West, after a pet dog suddenly turned aggressive and tried to attack three young girls. The episode was captured on CCTV and has since gone viral, showing a woman stepping into the lift with her dog, where the three girls were already standing.
The incident has sparked massive debate on social media, with people condemning the attack. "A dog suddenly lunges aggressively at 3 young girls. The owner struggles to restrain it on a leash as the kids panic. No serious injuries, but sparks debate on pet control in shared spaces," one of the users said.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured. However, the disturbing visuals have sparked concern among residents of the building and reignited discussions about pet safety in shared residential spaces.
Within moments of the doors closing, the dog snapped and lunged at the girls, sending panic through the lift as they scrambled to keep away from it. The owner was seen struggling to hold her pet back and bring it under control.
The tension didn't end there. When the lift doors finally opened, one of the girls attempted to dash out, only for the dog to lunge at her again. The owner once more managed to restrain the animal in time, averting what could have been a far more serious outcome. No one was seriously hurt in the incident, but the unsettling footage has left residents of the building on edge.

"Why would you enter a lift with a dog when you see people inside it! Wait 2 minutes. Let others live in peace," another one said.
