Dog Attack in Pembroke - At 11am on Tuesday, February 15th 2011 Police received a report of a dog attack. It appears that sometime between 10am and 10:30am that day the victim, a 59 year old Pembroke woman, was walking in Admiralty House Park near the beach when she noticed a man and a dog in the area. As she walked by the dog, which apparently at that time was not on a leash, it attacked her. The unknown man eventually pulled the dog off the victim and left the scene. The Pembroke woman sustained injuries to her arm and was subsequently taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment by a member of the public who was driving along Spanish Point Road. The suspect is described as a tall black man believed to be in his 30s with a big black dog which may have been a pit-bull. Inquiries into this incident are ongoing and the Government Dog Wardens are also aware. Police are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with any information to contact the Hamilton Criminal Investigation Unit on 295-0011.
The Bermuda Police Service would like to commend the woman who came to the assistance of the victim in this matter.
