ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A man whose genitals were bitten
off by a pit bull remained in serious condition
Tuesday, and the dog remained on the loose.
The man, who has not been identified, was attacked
Monday while walking the dog. When police arrived to
help, the man appeared disoriented and fled on foot
but police tracked him to a nearby park, said
Detective Jeff Arbogast of the Albuquerque Police
Department.
The man was naked when found at the park, but it was
unclear at what point he had taken off his clothes.
Neighbors had seen him playing with the dog earlier in
the day.
Arbogast said investigators do not know why the man
was naked, and remain uncertain about some
circumstances surrounding the attack.
The brown pit bull remained missing Tuesday, and
police warned people who see it to stay away and call
animal control.
A nearby elementary school was locked down following
the incident and parents were called to pick up
students who usually walk home.
Shortly after the attack Monday, Gov. Bill Richardson
released a statement saying he would proposed
legislation next year aimed at holding owners of
dangerous dogs accountable for their pets.
