Two Jersey City Police officers were dispatched to South Street in reference to a male who had been bitten by a pitbull. Upon arrival, one victim was already in an ambulance and was treated for superficial wounds to his left leg. He stated he was hanging out with his friend in an apartment when his pitbull got out of his cage and attacked him. He stated he wanted no further police action however he left his winter coat in the apartment and asked if Police could retrieve it for him.

When Police walked to the apartment, they knocked several times with no answer, however they heard dogs barking on the inside and what sounded like a male moaning in pain, the report said. Officers advised dispatch of the situation and requested the ambulance stand by for a possible second victim, When they were able to make entry into the apartment which was unlocked they saw the aggressive male pitbull.

They removed the dog and Emt’s were able to enter the apartment and render aid to the second victim (the owner). They found the victim lying on his back covered in blood with wounds on both hands, right forearm and stomach. The victim was removed from the apartment and transported to the Jersey City Medical Center. Animal Control also removed a second pit bull which was in a cage for the duration of the incident.

Jersey City has not been able to interview the victim as he was intubated, in critical condition and being transferred to ICU.
