SAN ANTONIO – Two women were treated at a local hospital for injuries after a dog bit both of them Sunday evening at a West Side apartment complex, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

Both women sustained non-life-threatening injuries, police said, after the dog bit them just after 5 p.m. at an apartment complex in the 100 block of Northwest 36th Street, near the intersection of West Commerce Street.

One of the women was bitten in the arm and stomach, while the other was bitten in the back of the leg.
