Const. Nathan Lutz said one person was treated by emergency medical services at the scene. A second person reportedly attacked by the dog left the area before being treated.

The dog, identified by Lutz as a pit bull, was able to be contained in the backyard until Animal Care and Control took over the investigation.

A city spokeswoman later confirmed the dog involved was an American Staffordshire terrier.
