Cincinnati Police are investigating a dog attack in Pleasant Ridge. Police say a woman was walking her pit bull when she slipped and scared the dog, which then attacked her.
Crews were called to the 5900 block of Woodmont Avenue around 11:45 a.m. Joyce Mitchell, who also lives on the street, was walking her dog when she slipped on the ice. The fall apparently spooked the dog, which turned and attacked Mitchell.
Neighbors rushed out of their homes with hammers and shovels to beat the dog off Mitchell. Mitchell tried to secure the dog to a phone poll but she was unable. A police officer eventually gained control of the dog.
Billy Rogers is one of the neighbors: "And I looked around looked in the car got a hammer and came down here to help her, that's all I could do was try to get the dog off of her...looked like the dog was too vicious, and some other neighbors came and tried to help too...we got shovels and tried to get the dog away from her...but he was still attacking, then the other polices came and damn..."
Nieko Payne grabbed a shovel. "When I came out she had the dog wrapped around the pole and the dog started unwrapping itself and coming after her again and I hit the dog in the face and the police grabbed the leash and he wrapped it around the tree to keep the dog until the ambulance got here but... It had a big piece of her."
The SPCA has custody of the dog. Mitchell suffered injuries to her hands and legs.
