Dr Liu pointed out that in the two days following the incident, the department had organised nine dog-catching operations involving five teams of dog-catching staff near the temporary market in Smithfield, but no stray dogs were sighted in the vicinity. These operations were carried out both in the daytime and overnight.
"Evidence so far did not point to the fact that dogs were responsible for the case," he said.
However, Dr Liu stressed that the department would liaise closely with the market management to monitor the situation. AFD's dog-catching teams would also step up patrols in the area.
He called upon all dog owners to keep their dogs under proper control to prevent causing nuisance to other people.
