At least one Rottweiler injured U.S. Postal Service worker, officials say
CHICAGO (WLS) -- A dog attacked a Rogers Park U.S. Postal Service worker Thursday morning, requiring the woman to be hospitalized.
At least one Rottweiler ran out of a home and attacked in the 6400-block of North Paulina Street about 10:25 a.m., while the letter carrier, 33, was on the home's porch, Chicago police and USPS officials said Thursday.
The woman suffered several puncture wounds to her right arm, and was taken to St. Francis Hospital, CPD said. She remained stable.
Chicago police officers tried to catch the dog, at which point it ran back into the home.
