WISCONSIN -- An Oshkosh woman needed stitches after a dog bit her in the head Monday afternoon.
The 18-year-old woman had been in a verbal argument with another person at her residence in the 1500 block of Hazel Street, but had gone upstairs about 2:35 p.m. A 3-year-old pit bull then ran upstairs and attacked the woman. The dog bit the woman in the head, causing two lacerations that required stitches, said Joe Nichols, spokesman for the Oshkosh Police Department.
The dog’s owner had proper paperwork and the dog will be quarantined at the Hazel Street residence for 10 days. No citations have been issued, Nichols said.
The woman was taken to Aurora Medical Center for her injuries.
