SAN ANTONIO – Two women were treated at a local hospital for injuries after a dog bit both of them Sunday evening on the West Side, 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. Both took themselves to the hospital, police said.
An Animal Care Services spokesperson said the incident happened at a small park across from the complex. The spokesperson said the dog was “owned,” but did not specify if either victim was an owner.
While police said there were multiple dogs “on the loose,” though only one was biting people.
The ACS spokesperson said they took custody of the dog and said criminal citations were pending against the owner
