Three people — including a teenager — were bitten by a pair of escaped guard dogs in North York on Sunday afternoon.
The three were walking along Millwick Dr. near Islington Ave. and Steeles Ave. W. shortly after 4 p.m., when the dogs — two fully grown bull mastiffs — darted toward them.
“Through the call, we heard that one was bit on the leg and another on the face but nobody’s confirmed anything yet,” said Staff. Sgt. White.
The victims were taken to an Etobicoke hospital after initially declining medical attention. They are expected to make a full recovery, said White.
After arriving on scene, crews could not locate the dogs for several minutes but Toronto Animal Services later captured them.
Police said the dogs managed to escape from an industrial compound on nearby Toryork Dr.
The city agency has taken over the investigation and will decide whether to lay charges against the owner, said White.
