Pit bull attack leaves 3 injured in Florida, dog removed

Описание: Police are investigating a dog attack that left three people injured on Tuesday afternoon in a Riviera Beach neighborhood.

The dog attack occurred on Via Hacienda, near Military Trail between Northlake Boulevard and Blue Heron Boulevard just before 3 p.m. The Riviera Beach Police Department said two women and one man were walking in the middle of the street when they were bitten by a pit bull mix.

According to Riviera Beach Public Information Officer Mike Jachles, the dog, named Enzo, got out through a garage door that its owner left open, ran down the street, and attacked the people.

Home security video of the incident shows the man kick the pit bull trying to get him off the woman on the ground.

"The people involved told the officers they were fighting to get this dog off each other, and they feared that if it had been a child or just one person it could have been a much more brutal attack, because this dog had a lot of power and was aggressive towards them," Jachles said.
