Police spokesman Sergeant Mmako yesterday that Michael O'Brien of Camel Rock Guest Farm allegedly also pinned the boy to the ground while the dogs mauled him.
"It is reported ... that the boy approached a woman with a piece of wire in his hand," Mophiring said. "The man saw him walking towards the woman and let loose his two dogs who attacked him."
Mophiring said the boy was treated the following day because there were no doctors available on Christmas Day. He was later discharged.
