northeast. kristin fir everybody joins us -- fisher joins us live with more information. >> reporter: this was a vicious, gory attack. neighbors say these to dogs were literally eating this 74- yard man who is now -- 74-year- old man who is now in critical condition fighting for his life in the hospital. the dogs are are owned by the people who run this towing company walled towing pro. the dogs got out through a hole in this chain link fence. neighbors spotted them roaming around this neighborhood as early as 5:00 this morning and around 6:50, a man by the fame of sauny brown bell or mr. bell as he's known in this neighborhood, 74 years old. he was walking to the bus stop when these two dogs attacked him right in this intersection. >> when i came out this morning, the dog had the man in the street swinging on him like

he was a piece of rag doll, a little old pan. so then the man next door to me, his dog came out. by the time his dog came out and ran up there, the two dogs backed away off of the man. >> reporter: so there literally was a hero to this story as you heard, a neighbor saw what was happening, let his dog out. that dog then chased off the other two dogs. when police finally got to the scene, those two dogs that attacked the man are described as some sort of pit bull- rottweiler mix. they ran back inside their home at the towing parking lot. police actually had to draw guns. they were about to fire. they stopped short. animal control came and took them away. mr. bell of course was taken to the hospital where he is in critical condition. you might think neighbors would be absolutely shocked by what happened here this morning but really they're not. they say this was really just a matter of time before something like this happened. about three months ago they say a homeless man was also

attacked by the same two dogs. no word, no explanation from the owners as to why they let their dogs roam around like this in the neighborhood, but neighbors say they certainly feel very lucky today that their kids weren't roaming out, walking to the school bus because if this had happened just 20 minutes later, there would have been a bunch of kids waiting for a school dogs when the -- for a school bus when the dogs were roaming, attacking this man. the list of applicants eligible to open a medical marijuana dispensary in the district has been released. they include two centers in northwest and one on capitol hill. the director says a six-member panel of experts reviewed the applications. politic cants must still apply -- applicants must still apply for business licenses. it was a potentially damaging morning for the defense in the jerry sandusky
