Shreveport man hospitalized after three-dog attack on New London Street
A reproduced KTBS 3 report says three police-described pit bulls attacked a man on New London Street, causing a neck bite and extensive arm injuries before officers intervened.
Incident summary
A shared post reproducing KTBS 3 local reporting said a man was attacked by three dogs described as pit bulls along the 9300 block of New London Street in Shreveport on Sept. 8. The report quoted Shreveport Police Cpl. Chris Bordelon saying the victim was bitten in the neck and had extensive arm injuries and that police intervention likely prevented a fatal outcome. Officers shot two of the dogs while stopping the active attack; Caddo Parish Animal Control caught and impounded the third. The report said the victim was hospitalized and expected to recover.
The reproduced KTBS 3 report said citations were issued to the dogs’ owners and criminal charges were possible as the investigation continued. It also said the third dog would be presented to the Animal Services Board for a possible vicious-dog determination. These were pending enforcement/administrative steps, not final adjudications.

What BiteDB does not infer
Breed is recorded only as attributed in the reproduced local report. BiteDB does not infer breed from appearance or injury pattern. The original KTBS page was not retrievable through the research connector in this run, so the record explicitly preserves mirror provenance. Victim identity, final medical outcome, ownership history, criminal charging outcome and any Animal Services Board determination remain unknown unless a reliable source establishes them.
