BINGHAMTON, NY -- Police said a ticket was issued to the owner and the dog was sent to the Front Street Dog Shelter following the pitbull's attack on a young girl at Main and Beethoven Streets last Friday night.
According to a police report, newly-released to Fox 40 News, a second girl, running from the dog, was hit by a car.
Both girls were sent to the hospital with minor injuries.
Investigators said Melvin Vazquez was cited for violation of a city ordinance requiring dogs to be leashed, and under control.
