TOPEKA (KSNT) – A postal worker is recovering, and the Topeka Police Department is investigating, after a dog attacked her Friday.
Sarah Stevens was delivering mail along her normal route. Around 11 a.m., she stopped at a house in downtown Topeka, a home she delivered mail to many times. She noticed the dogs in the yard, barking like normal, and walked towards the mailbox.
That’s when her husband said a pitbull hopped the fence and took Sarah to the ground.
“She’s like, ‘I got on top of him, and I pushed on him,’ and she actually got him to let go. At one point, she said he just twisted around and came right back at her,” Sarah’s Husband, Phillip Stevens, said. “She put her arm back up to stop him from getting anything else besides her arm. It latched on her arm again, she said. This time, he took me to the ground. She said all I could do is screamed for help. She said she was screaming for what felt like hours.”
