Aug 20, 2008 Pit bull attacks Glenview teen and Chicago dog owner is ticketed


GLENVIEW — A Chicago man's pit bull terrier attacked a 14-year-old boy riding a bicycle in Glenview last week, authorities said.

Police said the victim was riding on Pleasant Lane at Sunset Ridge Road about 2 p.m. Aug. 13 when the pit bull chased him down, bit him, then jumped on him. Passing drivers stopped to help the boy and were able to chase the dog away until officers captured the dog, police said. The boy was treated at Glenbrook Hospital for several bites and was released the same day.
