A man has been taken to hospital with deep cuts to his abdomen and face after being attacked by a kangaroo north of Melbourne.
The kangaroo had been holding the man’s dog down in a dam at Arthurs Creek when it lashed out.
Advanced life support paramedics were called to the property at 9.35am.
‘The 49-year-old dived into the dam and managed to free his dog but he was injured in the process,” paramedic Michael Vosbergen said.
“He suffered a deep cut across his abdomen, a deep cut across his face and eye and a number of scratches to his chest, face and arms.”
The man was given pain relief before being taken to the Austin Hospital in a stable condition.
That will teach you !
I imagine the dog will not be harassing kangaroos any time soon.
do we really have to know everything that goes on in the entire world?
Damn marsupials!
This is why you should always have a shotgun. To kill the killer kangaroos
Man, dogs best friend.
No firearms nearby?
That’s one ugly arse Aussie.
Probably the red kangaroo. They get to be as big as a man, and while left alone are quite harmless. Unfortunately they’re quite dangerous if provoked. Under their hind feet they hide a terrible claw to disembowel their attackers. I know of at least one man who died trying to defend his dogs. This man was fortunate.
I’ve been waiting long enough:
Just: “Tie me Kangaroo Down, Sport….”
was written for just this situation.
The dingo was a scapegoat all along, it was a kangaroo that took the baby!

Most likely a grey kangaroo. Dont get Red’s in central Victoria. They prefer more arid climes.
Just for you, Bobbo.
#12 I was just recalling something I was told by a Sheila when I was a sailor visiting Perth.
I’ve read about roos being chased by dogs taking to water and trying to drown the dogs.
I’m not sorry for the dog or the man. It was self defense. Don’t pick a fight and get your butt kicked.
