LOWELL — A dog attack left a woman and her own dog injured Tuesday, according to Lowell police.

The incident occurred at 53 Loring St., according to Police Capt. Paul Laferriere. He said a 29-year-old woman was in the yard with her dog about 10:17 a.m. when a large, unleashed pitbull entered her yard and attacked her dog.

The woman, and the male owner of the pitbull, tried to separate the dogs, which is when the woman was bitten, Laferriere said in an email.

The man and pitbull left the scene, and were located later, he said. Animal control is following up on the attack, Laferriere said.

The woman and her dog both needed medical attention, he said.

In October 2017, a 7-year-old Lowell boy was killed by a pitbull. The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office reported the young boy entered a fenced in area on Clare Street one evening where there were two pitbulls. The one pitbull who attacked the child was later euthanized.

Police did not yet have information on whether the pitbull owner in Tuesday’s incident will face any charges.
