An 81-year-old man died after being attacked by two dogs in San Antonio, Texas, and a suspect has been arrested in the incident, police say.
The man and a female companion, 74, were attacked Friday afternoon when they got out of their car in front of a relative’s house, officials said. The dogs also injured one of the relatives and bit a first responder who tried to pull the animals off the elderly couple, authorities said. The dogs had escaped their yard near the relatives’ home, officials said.
“They could see him completely bloodied before they got out of the fire truck.” The dogs were American Staffordshire terriers, one of several breeds that falls under the broader classification of a pit bull, according to San Antonio Animal Care Services. “There were two that we know for a fact that were involved with the attack. There was a third animal from the same location that was free of restraint,” Animal Care Services Director Shannon Sims said.
