10-Year-Old Boy Seriously Injured In Attack By Pit Bull At His Home In Sale Creek

  • Thursday, November 27, 2014

A 10-year-old boy suffered serious injuries when he was attacked by a pit bull on Thanksgiving Day morning.

At approximately 10:12 a.m. deputies were called to 175 Daugherty Ferry Road regarding a report of a dog attack on a child. On arrival the Sale Creek Fire Department found the child on the front porch of the residence. 

The child’s father said his son came screaming to the house after he was attacked by the pit bull.

The child had apparently been playing with the animal as he did often and for unknown reasons the dog attacked him.

The owner of the pit bull, Preston Curtin, lives on the property in a camper next to the victim's residence.

The victim sustained serious injuries to his upper left arm, with minor injuries to his upper left chest. He was flown by Life Force to Erlanger Hospital due to the seriousness of his injuries.

The Hamilton County Humane Society responded to the scene and removed the dog.
