(KEMPTON PARK – 18 OCTOBER 2011 AT 17h20)
A little girl believed to be about 6yrs old is in a serious condition after she was attacked and bitten by a pit bull at a residence in Kempton Park this afternoon.
ER24 paramedics from Johannesburg East rushed to the scene after receiving the call. Once on scene, they found the little girl and quickly assessed her. She had suffered serious trauma to her head and left ear. They placed bandages to her head, to help stop the bleeding. Once stabilised she was rushed off to a nearby hospital for further medical treatment.
It is unclear who the dog belongs too or why the dog even attacked her but the authorities were notified and would investigate the incident further.
