At 11:13 am, emergency responders responded to a report of a dog bite in the area of Viera Ave and Oakley Road on Contra Costa County property where a man was bit by a dog.
According to personnel on scene, the man suffered a “significant bite” and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The dog was tied up to the tree after the bite.
Antioch Police and Animal Control entered a large homeless encampment between Viera and Hillcrest where the dog was located tied to a tree. Police were informed that the dog and it’s owner come and go from time to time.
Animal control was able to take the dog without incident. No further details were provided.

These people are right behind our homes. The city needs to do something about them. Those so called homeless people are polluting our environment with human waste and who knows what else. I see them often in the dark of night every evening especially on Sunday night going through my trash that is on the curb for Monday morning disposal. They might be taking recycling things which I don’t care but, they might be taking peoples personal information. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ANTIOCH!!! In the meantime my wife and I can’t wait to move out of this city. Pretty sad Antioch.
Now maybe they will clean that mess up! They should look at Delta Fair and Sycamore too. Trash and mattresses piled high.
I worked for over 20 years for a business in this unincorporated County land. When a crime was in progress at the business Antioch dispatch would tell me the address is County and call the Sheriff. I call the Sheriff and they claim that the address is the city of Antioch. Do you think I was served well by the County or City? I can see the homeless have found a sweet spot to avoid trouble from citizens and the law enforcement. Remember, this is the same general location where they kept a kidnapped girl for almost 20 years ending in a rescue of a women and children by this criminal.
