Hanover Twp. police are investigating a Saturday incident in which a man was reportedly attacked by dogs and injured and a bystander shot one of the dogs in self-defense.
Officers responded to 54 Lyndwood Ave. at about 3:15 p.m. Saturday for reports that a man was being attacked by two dogs, township police said in a post to the department’s Facebook page.
A bystander witnessed the incident and shot one of the dogs to protect himself and the victim, police said.
The victim suffered injuries to both of his arms and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Arrangements were made to have the injured dog taken to an emergency veterinary facility, police said.
Police continue to investigate the incident and might release more information at a later date, the post states.
