Broward County Woman Hospitalized After Dog Attack in Oakland Park

A Broward County woman was hospitalized after being attacked by dogs in Oakland Park on Sunday afternoon. The incident occurred around 2 p.m. in the 500 block of Northeast 51st Street, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO).

Deputies responded to reports of an animal bite and found the victim at the scene. She was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, though her identity and condition have not been disclosed. Authorities confirmed that multiple dogs were involved in the attack and were contained at the scene before being taken into custody by animal control.

BSO officials stated that the dogs are owned by family members, but details about what triggered the attack remain unclear. Witnesses reported seeing animal control workers and deputies removing what appeared to be pit bull-type dogs from the property later that evening.

This incident follows a recent string of dog-related injuries in South Florida, raising concerns about pet safety and responsible ownership. Local authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack and have not yet released further details.
