Pit Bull Put Down After Attacking Boy

While we are still trying to get more information, ABG has learned that a pit bull dog in the Manhattan Avenue area attacked a young boy, biting him in the ankle late Friday afternoon or early evening. Our information stated the boy was about eight years old and that the dog broke the boy's ankle. Police were called to the scene and were forced to put the pit bull down. Additional information filtering in to us state that a crowd began forming in the area and police called for backup. Our understanding at this point was that there was no violence. ABG will report more when we learn it.
