A South Carolina man is hospitalized after he courageously defended a mauled woman from three dogs near his Honea Path home Monday.
Aaron Presley said that he used a small pistol to frighten the canines and make them leave the woman, later identified a Kyleen Waltman, who was already badly injured.
The man added that a black, large pitbull remained on top of the victim before “he came toward me and then ran toward the house.” Presley did not even know whether he hit him.
Waltman, 38, was on her way to her mom’s home at the time of the attack. She is currently hospitalized with both her arms amputated and her colon removed.
“She still isn’t out of the woods just yet, she will need more surgeries on her body, the dogs attacked her whole being,” her sister said.
“Initially we thought just arms but as time goes on, the bites are everywhere.”
Justin L. Minor was arrested and charged with owning three dangerous dogs. They were reportedly two pitbulls and a mixed breed.
