Dog attack in Victor Heights/Chinatown. Does anyone have any info?
If you dont have the app:
On December 8th, mom went on her daily walk around our neighborhood. Around late 3pm-4pm, as she was approaching the intersection of W… From Nextdoor. Does anyone know them?
If you dont have the app:
On December 8th, mom went on her daily walk around our neighborhood. Around late 3pm-4pm, as she was approaching the intersection of White Knoll Dr. and Figueroa Terrace, she was attacked several times by a pitbull. She has bite marks on the hand and behind her thigh along with various cuts the dog inflicted during the attack.
The owner (female, wearing an all black outfit with indigo/ bright blue vans, carrying a pink/purple backpack) did nothing to stop the matter and did not take any responsibility. Instead, she claimed the dog was not hers but the leash was beside her. I unfortunately was not at the scene when the attack occurred but a nearby neighbor had called 911 and my mom was assisted by the paramedics before we took her to the hospital.
The owner of the dog, walked away scotch free and the firefighters had seen her walk away. No arrests were made as the police did not arrive in time. The paramedics advised I file a police report at the hospital but the sheriff on-site at the hospital was transparent and said there wasn't much they could do given the fact that I did not have any dog owner information. The sheriff advised I call and make a case with Animal Control (which is my next step).
In addition; I wanted to ask fellow neighbors if they had any security camera footage (Ring, etc.) and if they could forward the evidence over to me. I'll attach a map detailing the path the owner took. I appreciate the help and hope this does not happen again.
That stretch between Figueroa Terrace and White Knoll is tricky because the hills block a lot of the standard doorbell cameras. Check if any of the houses on the south side of White Knoll have cameras pointed toward the intersection, those usually catch the whole sidewalk. Animal control in northeast LA is actually pretty responsive if you file online and mention it was a bite, they'll send someone to canvas the area. Also worth swinging by the laundromat on Alpine and Broadway, the owner there keeps a pretty good eye on the street and might remember someone matching that description.
shit, that's rough. i walk my dog around there all the time, usually cut through the little park on Figueroa Terrace. that corner by White Knoll is kinda blind too, easy for a dog to come out of nowhere.
definitely file with animal control, they take pitbull bites seriously in LA county, especially if you can give them a decent description of the owner. also check with the fire station on Alpine, they might have seen which way she went since the firefighters were already there.
if you haven't yet, post on the Chinatown FB group too, there's a few busybody types in those old apartment buildings who might have caught something on their ring cameras. hope your mom heals up okay.
Getting to The Spot church in Los Angeles 2026
yeah & that plaza lot tickets after 2 hrs
I'd take the Metro B Line to Vermont/Beverly then the 204 up Vermont, it drops you a block from the spot. Sunday morning fills the lot by 9:30 so drive only if you're early. A weekday evening is calmer for a first visit.
