A Hartford police officer was attacked while responding to an assault involving a firearm on Sunday.
The officers, who were not identified, were dispatched to Park street just before 8:00 pm following a firearm attack complaint, Hartford police said.
A male victim was suffering from a gunshot wound in the second floor stairway landing when police arrived.
When two officers tried to help the victim, they were attacked by a pit bull and one officer sustained bites on his hand and wrist, police said.
The officer was released from the Hartford Hospital after treatment.
