An 83-year-old man has a long road to recovering after two dogs attacked him outside his South LA home, damaging the tendons and nerves in his hand.
The family of an 83-year-old man said he is suffering in the hospital after being mauled by' Crenshaw and Slauson neighborhood. Belynda Lindsey said her father, Jimmy Lindsey, 83, walked outside his home, preparing to pick up his wife from the senior center where she exercises.
"He walked out his house, off the porch, and he saw these dogs coming. They were running. He's not fearful. He sees them, and he believes they're gonna go by him, but they jump on him, and knock him down," said Belynda Lindsey. "He was kicking and trying to hold his hands up to keep them from getting his neck. The one dog took him across this way, and the other one took his legs and dragged him the other way.""They tried different methods to get the dogs off.
Belynda Lindsey said when first responders arrived, the dogs were still there, and her father's injuries were devastating — severed arteries, damaged tendons and nerves. "My father was traumatized for a half hour, and at some point, he lost consciousness. We say we're looking at a miracle that my father is here," she said.
