The Chatham-Kent Police Service have released more details after a dog attack in Wallaceburg.
Police officials allege last night around 5 p.m. two young children along with their babysitter were tobogganing at Jaycee Park on Larkwood Street when two dogs escaped from their home and attacked the youngest child.
A man and woman visiting family on Larkwood Street immediately ran to the park to help the young boy and babysitter, police said in a press release.
The 6-year-old boy ran to safety while the 3-year-old boy was carried from the scene to a home as 911 was called, police officials allege.
Police say the boy was transported via ambulance to Sydenham District Hospital in Wallaceburg.
He has since been transferred to a Michigan hospital for further medical treatment.
The babysitter sustained non-life-threatening injuries. She was treated and released from hospital, police say.
The dogs have been identified and seized by Pet and Wildlife Rescue.
They are currently in quarantine, police officials said.
The incident remains under investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Const. Ed Vannoord at edmondv@chatham-kent.ca or 519-436-6600 extension #8668.
