BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. — A 7-year-old girl was injured after being attacked by a dog Tuesday in Brooklyn Park.
According to police, the incident happened on the 7500 block of Janelle Avenue North. Police say the girl sustained "superficial" injuries from the attack.
While attempting to contain the dog, police say it tried attacking a boy. Officers then killed the dog, according to a release.
It's the second dog attack reported in Brooklyn Park over the past five days after officers responded to a call on Friday, July 19 where two dogs were actively attacking a 3-year-old. The child was transported to a nearby hospital, and was last said to be in "critical" condition. Several officers fired their weapons at the dogs, killing one and injuring the other, according to a release.
