LOWELL — A pit bull was seized by the Lowell Police Animal Control Division after it allegedly attacked another dog as it was walked by its owner on Lawrence Street about 9:10 p.m. Saturday.

The leashed dog that was attacked — a husky — suffered several bite wounds to its neck, according to Lowell Police reports. The injured animal was taken to a veterinarian’s office by its owner.

The pit bull, which was allegedly not leashed at the time of the attack, has been involved in past police responses, according to police. Based on reports from emergency radio broadcasts, the dog has allegedly attacked other animals in the area.

The incident remains under investigation by the Animal Control Division, which will determine if any citations or charges are warranted against the pit bull’s owner, according to Lowell police Capt. James Hodgdon.

The pit bull is currently in quarantine.

The attack was witnessed by Lowell resident Andre Pelissari, who said he was inside his Lawrence Street home Saturday night when he heard people screaming. Pelissari said he went outside to investigate and saw a man and a woman fighting to separate two dogs.

“The guy was screaming for help,” Pelissari said.

After they broke apart the animals, Pelissari’s neighbor brought the man and the injured husky inside his home. The pit bull was secured by its owner, identified by police as a woman in her 40s.

The owner of the husky sustained a laceration to his finger while attempting to separate the dogs, Hodgdon said. The owner of the pit bull fell and struck her head during the incident.

Both parties received medical treatment on scene, according to Hodgdon.
