Female mail driver hospitalized in critical condition after dog attacks her in San Antonio, SAPD says

Officials say the woman was bitten on her arm and lower back after the dog jumped the fence and knocked her down as she was delivering mail.

SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Police Department says a female mail driver has been hospitalized after being bit by a dog on the northwest side.

Around noon, authorities responded to the 1500 block of West Craig Place after receiving reports of a dog attack.

Preliminary information from SAPD suggests the dog jumped a fence and knocked the woman down before biting her right arm and lower back.

The victim was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and the dog will be quarentined for 10 days since the own could not verify vaccines, according to police.

This is an ongoing investigation.
