Two dogs were ordered removed from a Dix Hills home by a Suffolk County judge after the animals were reportedly involved in multiple attacks.

The animals were seen on video going after a 63-year-old woman, then attacking a Good Samaritan who tried to help her and her 65-year-old husband. The incident happened on August 10 near the corner of Blossom Street and Penn Drive. Suffolk police said two people were bitten.

Neighbors say the dogs also attacked a teenager on an e-bike in July.

The owner of the dogs spoke to News 12 and said the animals were let out accidentally by a real estate agent. She said the dogs are typically not aggressive.

The dogs will be taken to the Town of Huntington Animal Shelter by Animal Control.

Another court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, August 26.
