Vicious Dog Attack – On June 12th at 2:14PM, Animal Control Officers and police responded to the 10100 block of Cannon Ball Ct in Manassas (20109) for a report of a dog attack. The investigation revealed that a homeowner of an address in the above area was watching another family members’ dog, a 10 year old male Pit Bull, when it attacked the victim, a 23 year old woman of Manassas, who was visiting the residence at the time. The homeowner was attempting to put the dog in the backyard when he got loose and, without provocation, attacked the victim, biting her to her hand, face, and foot. A neighbor heard screaming at the residence and he, along with a visiting friend and another neighbor, entered the residence to help. All 3 men struggled with the dog, however, the dog continued to bite the victim. To stop the attack, one of the men removed his belt and choked the dog, inadvertently killing him. This action stopped the attack and the possibility for further, more significant injuries to the victim. The victim was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
