ST. PETERSBURG -- A 49-year-old St. Petersburg woman was bitten by a police dog Tuesday. She was treated at Bayfront Medical Center and released.
Evelyn Brinkley was bitten on the thigh and hand at 9 p.m. after the dog confused her for a suspect, who ran from authorities, said police spokesman George Kajtsa.
Police captured the suspect inside a fence at 658 16th Ave. S, but the dog was running loose outside the fence, police said. Brinkley happened upon the scene of the arrest and was bitten by Grip.
