Police said a nurse from Griffin Hospital called the department at 6:20 a.m. to report that two people who had been attacked by a dog had arrived at the emergency room.
As police investigated, they found that the two Ansonia men, ages 43 and 41, had been attacked by a dog that was roaming on Arch Street.
One of the men said he heard a disturbance in front of his home around 3 a.m., went to investigate and the dog bit his arm.
He was able to fight the dog off and run away, police said.
The other man said the pit bull attack was unprovoked. He had been bitten on the arm and leg area.
Both men required medical attention and surgery.
The only description they could give was that the dog was a dark color or brown pit bull.
Police do not know who owns the dog and they are investigating.
Anyone with information about the attacks should call the Ansonia Police Department at 203-735-1885.
