LOS ANGELES – Two people are recovering from injuries after they were mauled by a pack of pit bulls in Azusa on Tuesday, authorities said.

The attack occurred around 11:30 a.m. in the 5000 block of North Orangecrest Avenue where deputies responded to reports of dogs attacking someone in a backyard, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Four dogs, all pit bulls, had attacked a man in his 20s and his mother, officials confirmed. Their injuries were not life-threatening.

L.A. County Animal Care and Control officers also responded to the home and impounded all four dogs, which will be held in quarantine by the department until the owner relinquishes control, a spokesperson told KTLA 5 News.

It is not immediately clear if the family was breeding the dogs at the home.
