ELYRIA, OH — A 9-year-old girl’s face was bitten by a Rottweiler mix that lunged at her Friday evening, according to police.
The girl and a friend had walked to another friend’s home on 15th Street, and when the friend opened the door to let the two girls in, the dog ran out the door.
The victim ran eastbound down the sidewalk to evade the dog, but the dog caught up to her and jumped on her, biting her face, police said. The girl received a “small cut on the bridge of her nose” and ran home, according to a report of the incident.
The girl was treated and released from EMH Medical Center in Elyria.
