The chaos erupted around 10 p.m. in the 600 block of St. Joseph Street when police arrived to find a crowd desperately trying to control a ferocious pit bull-rottweiler mix, as they assisted a woman who had sustained severe injuries to her left arm and hand.
Authorities managed to subdue the aggressive dog using specialized control poles and promptly called in the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society.
