On Friday, September 11, 2026, a 63‑year‑old woman was attacked by two pit bull dogs while she was walking in the 200 block of Northwest 9th Terrace, a residential street in Homestead, Florida. The assault resulted in multiple bite injuries, and she was rushed to a hospital for medical care. Emergency services were summoned to the location following the incident.
Homestead Police Department officers arrived on the scene shortly after the report was received. The officers found the victim with visible wounds and worked with paramedics, who provided initial care before transporting her to a nearby medical facility. Police officials confirmed that the severity of the bite injuries required hospitalization. The two dogs involved were identified by the witness as pit bulls.
A resident who observed the attack gave a statement to investigators. According to the witness, the two pit bull dogs lunged at the woman, causing the injuries before law enforcement secured the area.

The Homestead Police Department opened an investigation to determine the ownership of the dogs and to assess whether any local animal control statutes were violated. Officers continue to collect statements from the witness and any other individuals who may have been present. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to compile a complete record of the incident.
Authorities noted that no other individuals were injured during the event and that the attack involved only the two dogs and the woman.
