The incident, which was caught on CCTV, took place in Sovetsky in central Russia’s Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug region.

The man, whose name and age have not been released, was a security guard who had regularly fed the stray dogs for the past two years.

But his relationship with the pack turned sour when he attempted to get past them with no food.

In the video, the pack, which consisted of around 12 dogs, are seen circling the man as he staggers along a road with a bottle of beer in his hand

The dogs jump on the man when he trips over one of them but, after a brief struggle, he manages to get to his feet again.

He then trips and falls again – and manages to get back up.

However, as he tripped the third time, he was attacked by one of the dogs – and the rest of the pack soon followed.

He reportedly died just two minutes after the first dog attacked.

Police launched an investigation after the remains of his body were found the following morning.

It is not known whether any action will be taken against the pack of stray dogs
