SAN ANTONIO - A Bexar Met meter reader was attacked by two pit bulls Thursday morning while he was in a south side neighborhood near Palo Alto Community College.
Armando Brosig tells News 4 WOAI he looked down to check a meter then looked up to see the two dogs getting out from behind a fence. He said, “I was like, 'Oh my God. I know they are going to attack me.'”
Brosig says he had mace with him, which he used, but each dog grabbed an arm. When the mace kicked in, the dogs ran back to their own yard.
The dog’s owner came outside after the attack to offer Brosig some towels for the blood and a ride to the hospital, but an ambulance was already on its way.
The owner tells News 4 WOAI, the dogs were put down the same day of the attack. Brosig says he should be ok once the bites heal. For now, both his arms are bandaged and he says it hurts to move them.
Animal Care Services wrote 7 tickets to the dog’s owner after the attack. A judge will decide how much they’ll pay.
