A pit bull took a chunk out of an NYPD detective's leg as authorities executed a search warrant inside a Queens home Wednesday morning, police confirm.
The officer was taken to Jamaica Hospital after the 5 a.m. attack at the apartment on Beach 27th Street. The detective is expected to be OK.
The dog wasn't hurt in the fray; it wasn't clear what would happen to the animal in the wake of the attack.
The nature of the search warrant wasn't immediately clear.
