2 Men Order Pit Bull Attack On 12-Year-Old Disabled Girl In Wheelchair

An unimaginable incident unfolded when two men ordered their pit bull dog to attack an innocent 12-year-old girl who was wheelchair-bound.

A girl being pushed by her father along a nature reserve path became upset when she saw a pit bull-type dog near her. When she started waving her arms, the two men told the dog to “get her.”

The dog did as it was told, and it attempted to maul her. The animal managed to clamp its jaws around the girl’s arm, but she was saved by her brave father who was able to get the dog off of her before things got worse.

Due to the arm guards that the girl was wearing, she escaped without injury.

Mirror U.K. reports on the incident that took place in Northamptonshire last Friday at about 4 p.m. The girl and her father were at Lings Wood nature reserve when the two men and their dog showed up. After the girl’s father wrestled the dog away from his daughter, it ran off with the men.

Inspector Kev Byrne with the ­Northamptonshire Police calls the cruel dog attack on the disabled girl “an absolutely disgraceful incident.”

“It is not a case of a dog being out of control, but being used as a weapon in an assault on a very vulnerable girl,” Byrne says.

Police are describing the suspects as black and in their 30s. One is reportedly about 6-feet-tall with short black hair, clean shaven, and wearing a blue t-shirt with jeans. The other suspect is described as 5-feet-10-inches with Afro-styled hair that’s medium length. He allegedly wore a white t-shirt and jeans.

The pit bull-type dog is black and white with a white marking that goes from the top of the head to the nose.

Witnesses are being urged to call police at 101 or Crimestoppers at 0800-555-111, according to Northants Police.

Sadly, there’s an abundance of dog attacks on children. The Inquisitr reports on a great deal of them. None of them, however, have had the animals’ owners intentionally order an attack on a child.

Hopefully someone will help police find the two men who callously commanded their pit bull to attack a 12-year-old disabled girl in a wheelchair.
