DAMN! A PAIR OF PIT BULLS RIPS OFF AN OLD MAN'S ARMS!

A pair of bloodthirsty pit bulls pounced on a disabled, elderly Florida man, ripping one of his arms off and severely damaged his other arm, police said.

The vicious dogs broke out of their cages and attacked Roy McSweeney, 74, while he was doing yard work at his home in Hawthorne Friday morning.

Doctors amputated the great-grandfather's right arm and are trying to reattach his left arm.

"He is disabled and sometimes used a scooter to get around. The dogs hurt him pretty bad," Roderick Flynn, a volunteer firefighter who was at the gruesome scene, told WTEV.

Both dogs belonged to McSweeney's next-door neighbor and were handed over to authorities then euthanized, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said.

The woman who owns the home told WTEV she wasn't home when they attack occurred and said the pooches belonged to a friend. She said she didn't know how they escaped from their kennel.

"There's no reason for dogs to be roaming free at all," said Flynn. “This should never have happened. He should be safe in his own yard."

The health department is testing the dogs for rabies.
