Two dogs who attacked a Riviera Beach city worker in August will be euthanized, Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control said Wednesday.

Bernard Jones, who’s worked for four years as a “public-service ambassador’ for the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, was picking up trash at Broadway and Blue Heron Boulevard on Aug. 28 when two 60-pound pit bulls escaped from a fenced yard and charged at the 58-year-old man.

Jones was bitten multiple times and sustained punctures on both thighs, chest scratches, knee abrasions and “severe lacerations to his left thumb area and right wrist,” according to an Animal Care and Control report.

“I was in fear for my life. Absolutely,” the man later told The Palm Beach Post. “I got stitches all over me. One. Two. Three. Four. About five different cuts.”

The dogs have been surrendered to Animal Care and Control and “will be scheduled for euthanasia as soon as practical,” Capt. Dave Walesky said in an email.

Animal Care and Control cited the dogs’ owner, Terence Jamar Lark, 41, for having loose animals, for not having given them proper shots and tags and for not having a proper permit for small-scale “hobby breeding.” He faces potential fines totaling about $500.

Walesky said in the email that Animal Care and Control had planned to meet with Lark at the Palm Beach County Jail, where he has been in custody since Monday on an unrelated matter.
