A 1-year-old boy was bitten by a pit bull today in Pacoima and airlifted to the trauma center at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, officials said.

Officials responded at 11:06 a.m. to the incident on Louvre Street. Officials used Paxton Park as a landing site for the helicopter, said d’Lisa Davies, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Fire Department.

‘Because he’s so young, they’re trying to get him to the hospital as quickly as possible,’ Davies said.

Davies said she did not immediately know the extent of his injuries.
