Is the claim true?: No, the claim is false. This incident is from Thailand and dates back to 2022.

What we found: At first, we ran a relevant keyword search and found a post on a page named "our_rohini and rohini_walee" from 8 July.

• The post read, " A video is going viral on the internet with the claim that a dog suddenly attacks a child in Rohini, Delhi. Our team found that it is not from Rohini but from South Pattaya. This incident is from 20 June 2024." (sic.)

• We, then, ran another keyword search and came across a YouTube video on AMARINTV from 22 June 2022. It included a similar frame as the viral video.

Here is the preview of the video.

• As per several reports, a CCTV clip went viral showing a 4-year-old boy of a foreign labourer being mauled by a dog in a neighbourhood in Pattaya, Thailand.

• The dog ran away when its owner opened the door to take out the garbage. The family that released the video explained that it served as a caution, and the issue has now been settled between the child's dad and the pet owner.

• Additionally, we did not find any recent reports of a dog bite incident in Rohini.

Conclusion: An old video from 2022 from Thailand has gone viral as child mauled by dog in Rohini
