A 14-year-old girl was airlifted to hospital yesterday (July 30) after a dog allegedly attacked her during a visit at her friend’s house in Golf Street, Boksburg West.

“Reports from the scene indicate that a pit bull terrier grabbed and bit the girl when she arrived at her friend’s house for a visit.
“The girl sustained serious leg and arm injuries and a decision was made to airlift her to a specialised facility,” he said.
The child was treated on scene by paramedics and is now reportedly in a stable condition.
