CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Police say four people in Tennessee have been injured in a dog attack.

Clarksville Police Department spokesman Jim Knoll told The Leaf-Chronicle that officers were called to the scene Monday and found four adult victims outside a mobile home “with dog bites of varying severity.”

He said based on statements from witnesses and victims, the pit bull dog initially attacked a 20-year-old man and the others were injured trying to help him. They were able to contain the dog in the mobile home.
