The dog broke free from a cage and attacked the 36-year-old and 46-year-old women. One woman suffered “serious bites” to both arms and her left knee; the other woman suffered “serious bites” to both arms, Acting Chief of Police Lt. John Godzieba said.

Animal control responded to the home and police currently have custody of the dog, Godzieba said.
