A woman was hospitalized on Monday morning, police said, after she suffered ‘severe bite injures’ when she was attacked by her own dogs in an incident that happened at a home in Northeast Philadelphia.
According to police, officers responded to a home on the 2800 block of Sebring Road in Northeast Philly at about 9:11 a.m. on Monday after receiving a report of a woman being attacked by several dogs.
Responding officers arrived to find three dogs “actively attacking” a woman in the backyard of the home and, police said, the officers at the scene discharged their weapons to stop the attack.
In a Monday afternoon statement on this incident, police did not immediately say if the dogs were hurt or killed when the officers fired their weapons.
The woman, police said, was taken to a nearby hospital after she suffered “severe bite injuries to her face, leg and arm.”
Police did not immediately provide the woman’s condition after she was taken to the hospital.
All of the dogs involved were owned by the victim, according to police.
An investigation into this incident, officials said, is ongoing.
