NEW CASSEL, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- Two people have been arrested after three pit bulls attacked a man who was walking with his daughter on Long Island, police said.
The 44-year-old man and his daughter were walking on Maplewood Drive in New Cassel when the dogs came running at them from an open gate on Monday afternoon, police said.
