A man is undergoing surgery after a pit-bull attack in Spring Valley, Tuesday afternoon.
Chaverim of Rockland tell YWN that at around 4:00PM, a vicious loose pit-bull attacked a young girl and a baby walking on Hoyt Street near West Street.
The dog first attacked the girl, and tried to drag the baby away from her.
A brave Rockland Chaverim volunteer who lives on the street heard the screams, and ran over and tried getting the baby out of the dogs mouth. The dog would not let go, so the Chaverim member used a knife to cut the baby’s coat to let her free. As soon as the dog lost its grip, the dog ran to a Jewish man standing nearby and viciously chomped down on his hand – literally locking his jaw on the man. Along with another brave man, the Chaverim member literally jumped on the dog – pinning him to the floor, rending him unable to move any longer.
The man who was bitten was rushed to Westchester Trauma Center by Hatzolah and is undergoing surgery on his hand.
The baby was treated for minor injuries.
Police arrived and took the dog away.
Police are trying to find the owner of the dog, but have so far come up empty-handed.
Please say Tehillim for Aharon be Toiba.

Classic the vid of them holding down the dog is gonna be used for “animal cruelty” propaganda
on the first video posted it seems like someone at the end of the road, who is acompanying another person who bounces a ball, is running away. Maybe does the dog belong to one of them and they sent it to attack??
Wow!
Kol hakavod!
Very brave of him and he probably saved her life.
Gun control!!!
One bullet to the head of the dog and nobody gets hurt.
The dog needs to be killed
Wow, really brave!! Waiting to hear from all the lunatics how pit bulls are cute and harmless. Or maybe that’s only in Lakewood.
Destroy the dog, find the owner and sling him in jail. Those poor kids, how is the baby? And the man who was bitten?
Shotim should have knifed the dog on the spot, would have saved the man his hand any more trauma involved.
He should have used the knife to kill the dog
Why didn’t he kill the dog, if he already had a knife?
whos the guy in the red and what is he trying to do?
What is that stick that the volunteer is holding on the dog?
They should have KILLED the dog, and lock up the owner.
These Guys Are amazing! Send Tzedaka today to the chaveirim, Hatzola and anyone who needs funds!
Does anyone have an update on the man who had the surgery as to how he is doing?
all you guys saying kill the dog, a knife against a pit-bull. Really?
According to reports, neighbors had been complaining about this dog to the SVPD for months. The victims should sue the SVPD and the owner!
