Overview
- The victim was riding his bicycle in the inner courtyard of a housing complex when two free-roaming dogs attacked, causing head and arm injuries, police said.
- A nearby patrol heard shouting and barking, rushed to the scene, provided first aid, and the boy was taken to a hospital for treatment and observation.
- The dogs' handlers had fled at first but later returned, which helped drive the animals away and prevent further bites, according to police.
- Officers confiscated both animals, and investigators are examining how the dogs got loose and what the handlers did before and after the attack.
- Authorities have not released any identities or potential charges, and the incident has renewed concern about large dogs roaming shared residential courtyards.
