Campbell man attacked by dogs

CAMPBELL — A 57-year-old Chambers Street man identified the two dogs he says attacked him Monday afternoon and severely injured his arms and legs.

John W. Lissi was in the rear of property he owns at 667 Devitt Drive, preparing to mow the lawn, when the attack occurred, said David Nelson, Mahoning County deputy dog warden.

Lissi told Nelson that one dog bit him and a second knocked him over, and both bit his arms and legs when he rolled into a ball to protect himself. The dogs weighed 40 and 60 pounds, said county dog warden Mike Fox.

Nelson said Lissi suffered extensive injuries to his right arm and puncture wounds and cuts on both arms and legs during the attack, which occurred at about 3:35 p.m. Lissi was in the emergency department until about 1:30 a.m. today receiving treatment, Nelson said.
