PLYMOUTH, Minn. — A Plymouth man was hospitalized after being attacked by two pit bulls outside his home earlier this week.
Police said officers were called to a home shortly after midnight in the 15300 block of 60th Ave in Plymouth for a reported dog attack on Tuesday, Oct. 8.
When officers arrived, they found a man with serious injuries. The man, identified as Emil Mammedov, was taken to North Memorial Medical Center.
Eventually, the officers found the dogs at a nearby home.
"The owner of the dogs has been identified and the dogs are currently being quarantined in a secure police facility," according to the Plymouth PD news release.
The dogs bit Mammedov numerous times — taking off a large piece of skin underneath his right eye, according to his GoFundMe page. Mammedov had to undergo emergency surgery.
"Emil is a breadwinner for his family as a professional chef, and together with {his wife} the family ran a small catering business," the GoFundMe page stated.
Police said the incident is under investigation but no charges have been filed yet.
