Officers shoot at dogs who were attacking a man in West Philadelphia on Wednesday.
A man is in critical condition after being attacked by five dogs in a West Philadelphia neighborhood Wednesday afternoon. Police shot at the dogs, killing one of them.
The police captain and a neighbor told NBC10 that the 60-year-old victim was likely disoriented when he walked by the"beware of dogs" signs and into a narrow alleyway before he opened the gate to a yard where the dogs were located. When officers arrived on the scene they had to pull the dogs off of the man who fell unconscious before shooting two of the five. One of those dogs died. The man was taken to a nearby hospital where he is listed in critical condition.
