A 5-year-old girl was bit by a coyote at Dublin Hills Regional Park on Wednesday, park officials said.

The East Bay Regional Park District Police Department wrote in a Wednesday night tweet that the girl was bit by the animal at 2:22 p.m., and was subsequently transported to UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland to receive treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife officials are working with park district police to "resolve the situation," and the park is closed at this time. Dublin Hills Regional Park and Donlon Point Staging Area are not listed on the park district's list of closures due to the spread of coronavirus.

This story is developing and will be updated as more information is made available.
