Boy seriously hurt in Manchester dog attack, neighbors say

TASER TO GET THE DOGS OFF OF THE CHILD. HE DEFINITELY GOT HURT BAD, THOUGH. WITNESSES DESCRIBING THE TERRIFYING MOMENTS WHEN THEY SAW TWO DOGS ATTACKING A YOUNG BOY. I WAS ON THE BACK PORCH ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND I LOOKED DOWN. I HEARD THE KID SCREAMING AND I SEEN THE DOG GRAB HIM. SO I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. THAT’S WHEN ERIC HANHAM, WHO WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD VISITING SOMEONE, STEPPED IN TO RESCUE THE BOY, KEPT BEATING HIM ON THE HEAD WITH A SHOVEL. WHEN HANHAM GOT THERE, HE SAYS A ROTTWEILER WAS ATTACKING THE CHILD AND A PITBULL WAS TANGLED WITH ANOTHER PERSON WHO WAS TRYING TO SAVE THE CHILD. REBECCA MEAD LIVES RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE THIS HAPPENED. SHE BELIEVES THE YOUNG BOY MIGHT HAVE GONE INTO THE NEIGHBOR’S YARD TO RETRIEVE A BALL. HE’S JUST ALWAYS DOWN HERE PLAYING AT THAT LITTLE PARK RIGHT THERE. SEVERAL WITNESSES BELIEVE THE BOY WAS DRAGGED A SHORT DISTANCE. I KIND OF JUST SAT THERE WITH HIM AND HELPED. HELPED HIM KEEP HIS ARM UP UNTIL THE COPS AND THE AMBULANCE CAME. MEAD SAYS IN THAT SPLIT SECOND, SHE KNEW SHE HAD TO STEP IN. NOBODY WAS BY HIS SIDE AT THAT TIME. SO I JUST WENT OVER THERE. I COULD SEE THAT HE WAS BLEEDING REALLY, REALLY BAD. I JUST WENT OVER THERE. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT HE KNEW HE WAS OKAY.
