A 7-year-old child was rushed to the hospital after being attacked by two pit bulls in a Margate home Wednesday afternoon, police said.
The incident occurred at a residence on Northwest 56th Avenue in Lakeview Circle South. Responding officers and rescue crews found the injured child, who was airlifted to Broward General Hospital. Fortunately, the injuries were reported as non-life-threatening.
