What was reported
A dog bite was reported on East North Street in Greensburg at 4:17 p.m. on Thursday, October 15, 2026, according to the Greensburg Daily News police blotter[1] published October 16.
The entry appears twice in the blotter with the same time and address under different case numbers. Greensburg police handled the call. The blotter did not identify the person bitten, describe the dog or state the extent of any injury.
The blotter is the only source for this report, and no further details have been released.
What should dog-bite victims do next?
Get medical care for any dog bite, even one that seems minor. Bites can become infected, and a doctor can address rabies and tetanus concerns.
Report the bite to local police or animal control so there is a record, and ask for the report number. Write down the dog owner's name and address if known, and photograph the wound as it heals.
Many dog-bite claims are paid through a homeowner's or renter's insurance policy. Be careful about giving a recorded statement before you understand your options. You can review general information from a Fort Wayne dog-bite accident attorney and learn how Indiana dog-bite law works.
Why location matters in an Indiana injury claim
This bite was reported in Greensburg, in Decatur County, and Greensburg police responded. The location usually determines which county's courts would hear a case.
Indiana dog-bite claims depend on the facts, including where the bite happened and what the owner knew about the dog. Under Ind. Code 34-51-2-6, Indiana divides fault among the people involved and bars recovery for a person whose fault is greater than 50 percent. A police report is not a determination of civil liability.
Most injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Ind. Code 34-11-6-1 can extend that time when the injured person is a minor. A practical explanation of the filing period is available in the firm's guide to Indiana injury-claim deadlines.
