Police are now searching for the suspect involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Argument Over Dogs Turns Violent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">William Woods was walking along <strong>Arroyo Boulevard in Pasadena<\/strong> with his two dogs, Woof and Kibble, when he encountered a man accompanied by two young girls. The individual confronted Woods, telling him it was illegal to have dogs off-leash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Woods says he acknowledged the comment to avoid conflict, but the situation escalated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis guy starts yelling at me\u2026 then he charged me. He picked me up and threw me,\u201d Woods recalled.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Woods attempted to take photos of the man for evidence, he says he was attacked a second time. The force of the assault knocked his glasses nearly 40 feet away, leaving him injured and bloodied on his leg and arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pasadena Police Investigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident occurred Saturday and was immediately reported to police. Authorities confirmed that having dogs off-leash in Pasadena is against city law, but emphasized that the violation should never result in physical violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">City spokesperson Lisa Derderian stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile it is illegal to have dogs off-leash, this does not justify an assault. We encourage anyone with information to contact the Pasadena Police Department.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety Concerns for Dog Owners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Woods admitted he understands the leash law and said he is willing to pay a fine if cited. However, he expressed concern for his and his wife\u2019s safety after the attack, fearing the suspect might return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police are asking anyone with information about the suspect to come forward as the investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tags:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#Pasadena #DogAttack #OffLeashDogs #PasadenaPolice #CaliforniaNews #DogOwners #TrailSafety<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pasadena, California \u2013 A weekend walk turned violent wh [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"saved_in_kubio":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2290"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2290\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2291,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2290\/revisions\/2291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
