DETAILS:
- A man visited his friend living in an RV in a vacant lot at the south end of Vista Santo Domingo.
- As the man entered the RV, the friends’ Pit Bulls attacked the male.
- The male was attacked by possibly up to 5 Pit Bulls.
- The dogs even bit their owner, who was trying to stop the attack on his friend.
- SDPD was notified, and upon their arrival, they found the victim lying unconscious in front of the RV.
- The dogs retreated into the RV, and the officers dragged the victim away to a safe distance.
- The male suffered severe bite wounds to his head, arms, legs, and abdomen.
- A tourniquet was applied to one of the male’s legs.
- He was transported to Mercy Hospital, and his status is unknown.
- Paramedics and officers were seen treating the dog’s owner for his bite wounds.
- The San Diego Humane Society was brought in to take the dogs in quarantine.
- At one point, the owner, who was trying to help gather the five dogs, allowed the adult male dog (who did most of the attacking) to escape his control, and the dog came after me but did not bite me.
- The dogs were finally all taken away.
- The SDPD stated that these same dogs attacked a man last week who was simply taking a walk, but was not seriously injured by the dogs..
