(KSL News) A Tooele woman was seriously injured this evening when her neighbor's pit bull attacked her.
Police say the dog got out of its yard and attacked the 21-year-old woman next door.
Sgt. Robert Benson, with the Tooele Police Department, said, "Fairly serious condition, nothing life-threatening as far as I know, but pretty significant injuries to both her leg and arm."
It appears the dog got out through a hole in the fence. The owners weren't home at the time.
The dog was taken to an animal shelter. It will be quarantined for 10 days during which time a hearing will determine if the dog should be deemed vicious. Depending on the outcome, the dog will be either put down or allowed to go back home.
