Police rushed to the baby’s rescue after a person inside the home called 911 at 5:15p.m. this Wednesday to report the incident. During the call, another person could be heard screaming, according to NBC Philadelphia.
"When police arrived on location they could see through the front door, that a small child was laying on the living room floor being attacked by about five pit bulls," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told the outlet.
Police then burst inside the home, only to be attacked by the dogs.
