A three-year-old child was injured Tuesday afternoon after being attacked by two dogs in Mount Pleasant.
According to Mount Pleasant Police Chief Lyle Murray, officers were dispatched at approximately 4:30 p.m. on May 13 to the 600 block of North Jackson Street following reports of the attack.
When officers arrived, they found the child with her mother suffering from a head wound. Police say the two dogs involved had already been secured in separate vehicles.
Officers provided first aid at the scene until crews with Henry County Ambulance arrived. The child was then transported to the hospital for treatment.
Police say the owner of the dogs later transported the animals to All Gods Creatures, where the dogs were impounded.
The owner has been cited for having vicious animals and is scheduled to appear in court on May 19th.
