ROCK HILL A baby and his grandmother were attacked by a dog Friday in Rock Hill.

Deputies met with a 41-year-old woman who said she was pushing her grandson in a stroller on Pine Grove Court in Rock Hill when the dog ran into the road and attacked them, according to a York County Sheriff’s report.

The dog scratched the infant, said Steve Stuber, director for York County Animal Control. According to the sheriff’s report, the woman said her grandson had a small red bruise and two scratches on his left leg after the attack, the report states.

Deputies found the dog’s owner, who confirmed that the dog did jump on the woman and baby. The dog has been placed under quarantine for 10 days to gauge if it has rabies, Stuber said.

The report does not list the infant’s age or specify what breed of dog attacked. The grandmother declined to comment.
