Another Pit Bull Attack in Dearborn Heights

Unbelievable.  After blogging on Friday about a pit bull attack in Dearborn Heights, another attack occurred in Dearborn Heights over the weekend.  At approximately 7:45 p.m. on Saturday, a 10-year-old girl was playing on the sidewalk on Colgate Street .  From out of nowhere, a pit bull ran from a backyard and viciously attacked the girl.  Lucky for the little girl, Gerald LaMonica, 75, was on a walk and saw the entire attack.  He ran across the street yelling at the dog and reportedly kicked the dog in the chest to get it off of her.  While LaMonica was successful, the dog then turned and attacked him.  The attack left the girl with 14 stitches in her arm and leg.  LaMonica required 15 stitches to his leg and is also having back pain after kicking the dog.  The dog is currently in quarantine pending further investigation by the police.
