Pontiac man arrested after pitbull attacks neighbor's dog

Pontiac — A man was arrested Saturday after his pit bull attacked a neighbor's dog and the neighbor stabbed the man's dog, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies were dispatched to a home in the 50 block of Adelaide and found a pit bull had escaped from its yard and attacked the other dog, the sheriff's office said.

The owner of the second dog came to its aid and stabbed the pit bull, deputies said.

Deputies tried to intervene but were met by owner of the pit bull, who refused to comply with commands.

The 53-year-old man was taken into custody and, after complaining of trouble breathing, transported to St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital.

He later was released and issued citations, including having a dog at large.

Deputies did not release other details about the owner or the conditions of the dogs.
