Three cane corsos attacked multiple people and dogs in NJ, leading to injuries, legal action, and a court review.

On February 18, 2026, three cane corsos were seized by Secaucus police after attacking a man and woman at a Red Roof Inn parking lot, injuring the woman so severely she needed surgery. The same owner’s dogs attacked eight leashed dogs and two dog walkers in Hoboken the next day, causing serious injuries including deep puncture wounds requiring emergency surgery for one dog. The owner, who had previously violated a court order requiring dogs to be muzzled and leashed, fled both scenes but later surrendered three additional dogs to Jersey City animal control. Hoboken officials issued three summonses for violating leash and muzzling laws, with fines up to $1,000 per violation. The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office is reviewing the cases for possible criminal charges, and a court hearing will determine the dogs’ future.
