LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Police say a Little Rock woman was treated for injuries after two pit bulls bit her more than 25 times Friday afternoon.

A Friday afternoon walk quickly turned into a nightmare for 22 year old Brenie Jordan as she made her way through an alley way on South Pulaski Street.

"When I seen them, I told him to get them and by that time I was running to the fence to try to jump over the fence and the dogs came charging. They attacked me, "said Jordan.

Two pit bulls owned by Geary Allmon, a resident of the area, were in their unfenced back yard when Jordan, an owner of two pits herself, says they began chasing her, biting her feet, ankles and legs.
