A woman was hospitalized after a pair of dogs attacked her along the Los Angeles River in Long Beach Sunday afternoon, according to police and fire officials.<\/p>\n
She was walking along the east side of the river near Anaheim Street around 1:40 p.m. when they attacked, with one biting her arm and refusing to let go, according to authorities.<\/p>\n
Bystanders called 911 as the woman cried out for help, according to Long Beach Fire Department Capt. Jack Crabtree. When police arrived, they Tasered the dog and hit it with a baton to force it to let go, said Long Beach Police Department spokesman Andres Bonilla.<\/p>\n
Paramedics took the woman to the hospital to treat her traumatic injuries, Crabtree said. She\u2019s expected to survive, according to Bonilla.<\/p>\n
Animal services personnel took custody of both dogs, Bonilla said. It wasn\u2019t immediately clear if the dogs were stray or if their owner was nearby.<\/p>\n
