MICHIGAN -- A 45-year-old man was attacked by a neighbor’s dog at about 8 p.m. April 24 in the 6700 block of Norwood Avenue.
According to police, three German shepherds had gotten loose from a house. Witnesses said that it is a common problem.
The man was attempting to notify the dogs’ owner that they were loose when one of the dogs approached him and bit him on the left calf. The bite tore the man’s pants and made a mark on his leg.
The dog then bit the man’s right leg, leaving puncture wounds.
Witnesses confirmed that the attack was unprovoked and also spoke to officers about concerns for children in the neighborhood if the problem continues to occur.
The dogs’ owner was ticketed for the dogs being loose in the neighborhood and for the dog bites.
