The owner of a pit bull failed to keep his dog under control, which resulted in another dog being attacked and seriously injured at the Red Roof Inn in Hanover Township, Lehigh County, state police said.

Pennsylvania State Police in Bethlehem said the dog attack happened at 7:15 a.m. July 21 at the hotel, 1846 Catasauqua Road. The pit bull owned by Roger Alan Worman Jr., 40, of Allentown bit another dog owned by 57-year-old Harry Wendell Catherman of Lewisburg, Union County, police said.

A news release did not state the breed of the dog allegedly attacked.

Court records show Worman is facing a summary charge of harboring a dangerous dog in the incident. A summary trial is scheduled for 9 a.m. Sept. 20 before District Judge Michael D'Amore.
