FOX 5 NY’s Dan Bowens takes a look at some of the more notable crimes across the New York City area this week, including the attack on New York's former governor, the stabbing of an on-duty subway conductor and the bust of an illegal grow house in Brooklyn.

Three people were injured, including a child, after a dog attack on Long Island Tuesday afternoon, Nassau County Police said.

It happened at 12:20 p.m. on Lantern Road in Hicksville when police responded to reports of a dog bite. When officers arrived, they found two dogs which had attacked two women, and a young girl.

Police said the dogs were secured, and animal control is responding to assist with the animals.

The two women were taken to a local hospital for leg injuries and the young girl was taken in a helicopter to Cohens Children’s Hospital for facial injuries, police said.

The investigation remains ongoing.
