Incident summary

Philadelphia Police said officers responded March 22 to reports of two dogs attacking a 36-year-old woman and her small dog on the 4100 block of Ogden Street. The woman initially reached her vehicle. Police secured one of the loose dogs, but after she exited her vehicle, the remaining female dog—described by police as a pit bull—attacked her and her dog again. A police sergeant fired several rounds, striking the dog. Medics transported the woman to Presbyterian Hospital for treatment of minor leg injuries. Police reported that the case remained under investigation and the sergeant’s body camera recorded the response. The source does not independently establish each wound’s mechanism or the dogs’ genetic breeds.
