A Kansas City man who died after being mauled by a pack of dogs described the animals who attacked him for 23 minutes as “trying to drag me like I was their dinner” to his family.

Chris Culbertson, 46, was attacked by a pack of pit bull dogs in Kansas City, Missouri, on Saturday night, suffering 300 bites, 100 lacerations, and requiring 500 stitches, according to Fox4 News.

Culbertson, who, according to his family, loved dogs and owned a pit bull, survived the initial attack but died four hours later in the hospital from sepsis.

The violent attack, which was captured on a neighbor’s CCTV camera, began when the pack of dogs circled the man before he fell off his bike and began to ravage him on the ground.

Fox4 News reported that moments later, two more dogs emerged from the fence and bit the man’s legs, arms, feet, and even his face.

“They ripped his cheek, chin, and heels off his feet. “I can’t believe some dogs could do this to a human,” the victim’s sister, Angela Culbertson, told KSHB.

Culbertson reportedly did not know the dogs that attacked him and told his family after the attack, “I was reaching out for help, and nobody was helping me.”

One woman who lived in the neighborhood told the station that she tried to fight the dogs off with a golf club but was unsuccessful as they attacked her. She then ran to call 911 for assistance.

According to KSHB, a second victim was taken to the hospital in serious condition; it is unclear whether this was the woman who attempted to intervene.

When police arrived on the scene, they used their sirens and lights to scare away the pack.

Another local resident reportedly told the outlet that the dogs were trained to fight, and Culbertson’s family has called for the owners to be punished.

“I mean, the dog owners should be held accountable for this. This is murder, and they trained these dogs to do it, and they are their dogs. So it’s their responsibility,” Angela Culbertson explained.
