A man suffered serious injuries when two large dogs attacked him in the middle of a North Philadelphia street early Monday. Quick action by police may have saved his life.

The man in his 50s was attacked just after 4:30 a.m. at 6th and Tioga streets. A bullmastiff weighing 100 lbs. and a pit bull bit the man several times on his arms and leg, police said.

The man was pulled to the ground by the dogs and shaken during the mauling. Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said the wounds were very deep with bone visible through the puncture wounds.

Police were called when the man was heard screaming. Three officers arrived quickly and used their service weapons to stop the dogs.

The bullmastiff was immediately killed, Small said. The pit bull was struck by a bullet, but escaped.
