Man Bit by Dog at Cavalier Trail Park

A dog bit a man while near the tennis courts at Cavalier Trail Park (422 S. Maple Ave.) on Wednesday, March 21, at about 11:30 a.m.

The dog is described as large, about 50 to 60 pounds, with brown and black fur, breed unknown. A second dog, possibly a dachshund, was also present. The dogs were running loose on the tennis courts when the large one ran over to the victim and bit him on the hand.
