A WOMAN was bitten by two dogs yesterday, reportedly pitbulls, while exercising along Lady Chancellor Hill off the Queen’s Park Savannah, Port of Spain. Police said that while they were aware of the incident, which reportedly occurred around 6 a.m., they also said that the woman is yet to make an official report to the Belmont Police Station.

The Express also spoke to the head of the Port of Spain Division, Supt Raymond Thom, who reported that following the incident he had instructed that there be increased patrols along the popular jogging spot. He also promised heightened patrols in other areas in Port of Spain used for exercise such as Nelson Mandela Park and the Queen’s Park Savannah, as there had been complaints from users about unmuzzled and untethered dogs on the loose in those areas as well.

The Express visited Lady Chancellor Hill yesterday afternoon and spoke to joggers and several responded that, while they were aware about what happened, they would continue using the popular spot as it remains one of the safer areas to exercise.
