Posted — UpdatedThe women, both in their 20s, were inside an apartment at The Lodge at Crossroads on Berry Rose Way, near Piney Plains Road and Walnut Street, when the dog attacked them.
A neighbor tried to beat the dog away from one of the women with a broom, witnesses said.
The unidentified women were taken to WakeMed in Raleigh for treatment of injuries to their lower legs, thighs and hips, police said. The injuries were not life-threatening.
