The man, whose name has not been released, said he was attacked by “two loose pit bulls” near Cottage Street around 7 p.m., a Lynn police spokesperson told the Daily Voice.
He was rushed to a local hospital with severe injuries to his ear and nose.
The man’s “left ear had been removed, part of his nose had been torn off, and his face was covered in blood,” according to a search warrant obtained by CBS News.
"It's too bad. I feel bad for the dogs, but ... it's not always the dog's fault. It's the owners too," a neighbor who called 911 told the station.
The man is expected to recover, but his friends are worried about him.
"I guess he's going to need a prosthetic ear. Like it was bad, but he's doing all right," his roommate, Jeff Francois, told CBS. "He's a good guy. He's very thoughtful. Very nice. Hopefully he will be alright."
Police believe the owner of a barbershop across the street from the attack owns the dogs, according to the report CBS obtained. His name was not released.
Authorities have dogs quarantined after further investigation is complete, officials said.
