A pair of escaped pit bulls attacked a boy and a girl at a playground in Brazil, with footage of the horrifying incident showing one of the dogs ripping the boy from a jungle gym.
Video taken by a witness shows a brown-colored dog locking its jaws around the boy's leg on a playground in São Paulo on Tuesday as the youngster fights to free himself and bystanders hit the canine with sticks.
At some point, the boy, 11, managed to free himself and pinned the dog to the ground.
The boy was taken by a neighbor to a local urgent care facility in the neighborhood of Vila Guilherme and was then transferred to a hospital, where he underwent surgery, according to Brazilian news outlet SBT.
The girl, 12, was rushed by police to the same urgent care center, where she received treatment for lacerations to her head, chest, arms and legs.
Witnesses told the police that the dogs had slipped out of a scrapyard moments before the attack.
The dogs' owner, Marcos Sibioni, was questioned by police for more than three hours and was charged with animal abuse, custody neglect and serious bodily harm.
