(La Porte County, IN) - A Union Mills area woman was taken to the hospital after bitten while breaking up a fight between her two pit bulls.

La Porte County Police on Friday responded to a home in the 7000 block of W. U.S. 6.

According to police, Michelle Kramer, 47, was holding a rag over three to four inch long lacerations to her forehead and blood was running down her face.

The officer retrieved a medical bag from his police vehicle and opened a package of gauze for the woman to press on her wounds.  She was given more gauze to apply on a puncture from a tooth on her right arm, police said.

With paramedics on their way, Kramer told investigators she placed each of the dogs in separate rooms after they stopped fighting. She was taken by ambulance to Northwest Health in La Porte.
