WEST VIRGINIA -- A Wheeling man is recovering after being bit by a pit bull several times Tuesday afternoon.
Police got a call that a pit bull bit a man several times on Springhaven Road in Woodsdale.
They say a woman was bringing in groceries when her dog got out of the house. She then asked her neighbor to help catch him.
That’s when the dog got out of control and bit the man several times, sending him to the hospital.
The Animal Control Unit was called in, where they quarantined the dog and cited the woman for letting it run loose.
