By Laura Paine / The Daily Item

LYNN - A man was treated and transported to Union Hospital on Saturday after being attacked
by two loose pit bulls.

The victim, 67, whose name has not been released, was walking his puggle past 28 Forest St.
when two dogs escaped from their yard and attacked him around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Several
people assisted in separating the pit bulls from the man before the owner took control of them.

The man was treated on the scene by Atlantic Ambulance personnel for bite wounds on his
forearms before being transported to Union Hospital. His injuries were not considered life
threatening. The puggle also sustained injuries from the attack and was later taken to the animal
hospital by its owner.

Animal Control Officers reported to the scene and took custody of the pit bulls.
