NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — A woman was attacked by two dogs recently in the Colonial Place/Riverview neighborhood in Norfolk, with a neighbor capturing it on her doorbell camera and saying it appeared unprovoked.
Stephanie Clark wasn’t home when the attack happened around 10 a.m. Thursday morning, but she caught it on her doorbell camera.
You can see the woman in black looking out over the water. She turns, but stops when she sees the dogs and their owners. Suddenly, the two rottweilers lunge forward, tackling the woman and bringing their owner to the ground. Clark said the whole thing seemed unprovoked.
“There was no direct contact, she didn’t go up to pet them or anything,” Clark said. “So when I saw them kind of lunge and pull away from the person that was walking them, yeah, it’s really scary,” Stephanie Clark said.
She said it was too windy that day and can’t hear if anything was said to the dogs or the owner. Clark said she knows of a woman in the neighborhood who owns rottweilers. She said the dogs in the neighborhood are normally very friendly.
