A man got bitten by a dog that jumped onto the stage during an awareness play about stray dog attacks in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. P Radhakrishnan (57), a theatre artist from Kandakaparambu was bitten during the performance.
The incident occurred on Sunday evening at around 8 pm at Kandakaparambu Krishnapillai Memorial Library. Radhakrishnan was performing his one-man show, ‘Pekkaalam,’ as part of an awareness program against the threat of stray dogs. Shortly after the performance started, a dog appeared to the right end of the stage, sank its teeth into his back of his right leg, and jumped off the stage and ran away.

While a child was shown in a scene being attacked by a stray dog, barking sounds were playing in the background. The dog struck at that moment. Even while the audience witnessed the dog enter the stage and exit, they assumed it was part of the performance.
Radhakrishnan waited nearly ten minutes in pain and, once the performance was over, he informed the organizers. He was treated at Pariyaram Government Medical College Hospital.
