Alabama - Tommy Nesmith of Decatur was riding a motorcycle with his wife when a full-grown pit bull dog was thrown from a passing pickup truck and attacked him.
The dog bit Nesmith on his left leg, causing him to crash. Nesmith was bitten several times on both arms and wrists and his wife Janet injured a shoulder when she fell from the motorcycle.
Nesmith grabbed the dog by its ears and, as his wife called 911 on a mobile (cell) phone, he began choking the animal. "He killed the dog with his bare hands," said. Lt. Dennis Hughes.
Decatur animal control officers took the dog to be tested for rabies.
