His grandmother was supervising the toddler when the Pit Bull attacked the boy his grandmother jumped on the back of the dog to pull it away from the toddler. She sustained puncture wounds to her hand and arm, as well as major bites to her right leg and thigh during the dog bite attack.
According to a Los Angeles Police Sgt. Rich Suviate the toddler received one bite from the bridge of the nose to under the eye socket, another that was down the bridge of the nose and one that was through the mouth and cheek area. When Los Angeles Firefighters arrived on the scene of the dog bite attack in order to reach the toddler they had to use a fire extinguisher on the Pit Bull and another dog that was in the front yard of the home barking.
