Over the weekend, Niagara Falls police responded to a distressing incident involving a young boy who was attacked by two large dogs while sitting on his front porch with family members. The attack occurred on Saturday near Beaverdams Road and Hodgson Avenue.
The dogs, believed to be pit bulls, approached the boy from an unknown direction. The boy’s father quickly stepped in to protect him, managing to get him away from the animals. The dogs fled the scene and have not been found. Police treated the boy for a leg wound before he was taken to a hospital outside the area, where his injuries were deemed non-life-threatening.
Authorities are asking anyone with information or video footage of the incident to contact detectives at 905-688-4111, option 3, ext. 1009705, or Crime Stoppers of Niagara at 800-222-8477.
