EDGEWATER, Fla. – A pit bull that attacked five people in Edgewater on Sunday morning has been deemed dangerous.

The Edgewater Fire Department said it is still investigating the case but already classified it because the pit bull attacked several people.



"That pit bull was nasty. It should have never been left alone," said Carolyn Glapinski.

Glapinski said she was watching over the a 4-year-old girl when they went to the home on Marilyn Drive to feed the dog, but as soon as they got there, the dog turned aggressive.



"It went out. It went around and maybe it thought we were trying to break into the house and that's when it attacked my Audrey," said Glapinski.



"I need an ambulance because my baby girl just got bit by a pit bull," the caller told dispatchers.



Glapinski said she was screaming trying to get the dog to let go. Neighbors jumped into help as well, only to have the dog turn on them.



"A couple of other people got bit too. It's really bad. There's blood everywhere," the caller told dispatchers.

The girl remains in the hospital along with one other neighbor. Meanwhile, Edgewater Fire Department said the owner is out of state and hasn't returned their calls. The owner could be facing at least three citations.

"Spay and neuter, tags and letting your dog roam, not on a leash," said Captain Jeff Lariscy



Lariscy also said if the owner decides to keep the pit bull, even after being deemed dangerous, they'll have to follow certain guidelines.

"We would have a hearing and there could be restrictions put on the dog owner, where as the dog may have to be muzzled if it goes outside, things like that," said Lariscy.



But Glapinski said after being viciously attacked, the dog is not welcomed back.



"It would just do it again maybe. Who knows! Maybe next time it'll kill somebody," she said.
