They say the woman managed to hide in a passerby’s vehicle, and was taken to hospital to be treated for serious, but not life-threatening injuries.

Police say someone followed the dogs and saw them attack a cyclist and try to attack a resident in their yard, as well as a TTC Wheel-Trans operator who was able to close the doors in time.

The dogs are described as black and white with a larger build.

Police have released an image and say there is a concern for public safety.
