Arrest warrants have been filed after three pit bulls viciously attacked a 9-year-old boy and the neighbor who tried to help him, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Loganville police obtained the warrants, which charge the owner with two counts of reckless conduct, the news station reported. The owner’s name has not been released.
Channel 2 spoke to the neighbor who risked her life to save the child.
