Deputies were forced to shoot one of the three dogs involved in an attack on an 11-year-old boy in Deerfield Beach on Friday night, officials said.

A child and an adult were hospitalized after a dog attack in Deerfield Beach Friday evening. A little before 6:30 p.m., Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a report of an animal bite near the 400 block of Southwest 13th Place, the Sheriff’s Office said in an email.

"One of the dogs was glaring at me, he jumped on me, he bit me." He was bit by the canine in the courtyard outside his apartment on Southwest 13th Place in Deerfield Beach, off of South Dixie Highway.
