A female victim was hospitalized after a dog attacked her along the Los Angeles River Sunday afternoon, according to the Long Beach Fire Department.<\/p>\n
She was walking along the east side of the river near Anaheim Street around 1:40 p.m. when the dog bit and held onto her arm or leg, according to LBFD Capt. Jack Crabtree. Bystanders called 911 for help, he said.<\/p>\n
First-responders arrived, and the dog let go and ran off, but the victim was left with severe injuries that required treatment at a trauma center, according to the LBFD.<\/p>\n
Police and animal services personnel remained in the area to look for the dog and were eventually able to capture it, Crabtree said.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t immediately clear if the dog was a stray or if its owner was nearby.<\/p>\n
