Forks Township Police seeking the owner’s identity stated that a large light-colored Akita attacked a resident near Ramblewood Drive and Fringe Lane around 7 p.m.
The victim reportedly told officers that the owner — described as a Black man around 70 years old — got into an older beige sedan with the dog and left the area after the attack.
His identity has since been determined but not released, according to police.
It was not immediately clear whether charges had been filed.
