The boy — said by witnesses to be 10 or 11 years old — was riding his bike near Opal Street and Mustang Drive when he was suddenly attacked by a Pit Bull around 4:30 p.m.

"He had blood down his face, and then down the arm," said Ashley Faulk, who was getting off a school bus when she saw the attack.
Ashley said a man stepped in and tried to beat the dog away with the boy's own bike.
Blood was still visible on the sidewalk and grass near the scene. The incident apparently happened directly in front of the dog owner's home.
Saginaw police spokesman Damon Ing told News 8 that the the animal was seized by Animal Control and was under quarantine.
The extent of the boy's injuries wasn't clear as of Wednesday night, and an investigation into what happened continues.
