“A gray dog appeared and ran at me, a very ferocious pit bull ran at me. He attacks and grabs my dog, and I come up, grab the bars of the door that was in this place, and start screaming: help, the dog is eating me, the dog is eating me! She threw me to the left, I hit my leg, pelvis, arm and head. She grabbed my mouth here at the gum line. It’s a good thing I was wearing a thick jacket.”

The woman was lucky: a passing car driver saved her life, she says:
“A female driver appeared, she honked her car horn and chased the dog away. An ambulance arrived and I went to the hospital, where the doctors did a CT scan of my head and an X-ray.”
The neighbor of the injured woman says that the same dog had previously attacked him:
“Before she bit the woman, she attacked me, but I held back and she ran away. And then, when I came here to throw out the trash, I saw a girl chasing her in a car and honking her horn. And I said, why are you honking, and she answered that the dog bit the woman.”
