OGLETHORPE, Ga. — A man died Saturday after three pit bull-type dogs attacked him while he was walking in Oglethorpe, and authorities are still searching for the animals.
The Oglethorpe Police Department identified the victim as Raphael Woolfork. Police say he was walking on Chatham Street near Russell Street around 9:20 a.m. Saturday, when the dogs attacked him.
An unidentified bystander came to Woolfork’s aid and drove him to a location where paramedics could treat his injuries. During treatment, Woolfork went into cardiac arrest. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Jessica McKellar, who works at a gas station at the corner of Chatham and Russell streets, said she heard dogs barking about 10 minutes before the attack.
