A Davis gas station employee was assaulted and bitten by a dog Wednesday during an incident in which three suspects remain at large, police said.
The fight occurred shortly before 8:30 p.m. at the Arco station at 333 Mace Blvd., where Lt. Art Camacho said the employee first got involved in a verbal dispute with another woman.
“The dispute escalated to a physical fight between the employee and the woman,” Camacho said. “Reportedly, the fight was joined by one additional male who delivered several physical strikes to the employee.”
A second man, accompanied by a pit bull, also joined the altercation, during which the dog bit the woman on the arm, Camacho said. All three suspects, described only as white adults, fled the scene in a light-colored vehicle before officers arrived on scene and remained at large as of Friday.
The woman was transported to Sutter Davis Hospital for treatment of minor injuries stemming from the assault and the dog bite, said Camacho, who asks that anyone with information about the suspects to call Davis police at 530-747-5400.
