What was reported
The Greensburg Police Department logged a dog-bite call in the 1100 block of North Anderson Street at 1:14 p.m. on Thursday, October 8, 2026. The call appears under case number G26-11650 in the Decatur County public safety log[1] published with WRBI Radio's October 8 police blotter[2].
The log entry is the only published account identified for this incident. It does not describe the person who was bitten, the injury, the dog, or its owner. It also does not describe any police or animal-control investigation.
What you can do after a dog bite
If you are bitten by a dog, clean the wound and get medical care. A doctor can evaluate the injury, infection risk, and whether rabies precautions should be considered.
Report the bite to police or animal control so the dog's vaccination status can be checked. Take photographs as the injury heals, and write down the dog's description, the owner's name if known, and the names of any witnesses. The firm's dog-bite injury page explains how these claims may be evaluated.
Homeowner's and renter's insurance policies often cover dog-bite injuries. Before giving a detailed statement or signing a release, it can help to understand what the insurer is asking and what the available records show. You can read more about Indiana dog-bite law and the evidence that may matter.
Why the location and deadlines matter
The bite was reported in the 1100 block of North Anderson Street in Greensburg, Decatur County, and the Greensburg Police Department took the call. A civil case would ordinarily be filed in Decatur County or where the dog's owner lives.
Most Indiana personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury under Indiana Code 34-11-2-4[3]. For a person under a legal disability, including a minor, Indiana Code 34-11-6-1[4] may delay when the limitations period begins. Indiana Code 34-51-2-6[5] also addresses comparative fault when more than one person may share responsibility. The firm's guide to Indiana injury claim deadlines provides additional general information.
