Police have found the pit bull terrier involved in a vicious attack that left a prized greyhound dead and a man in hospital in southwest Sydney.
A father and son were walking their muzzled greyhounds on leads through Macquarie Fields on Saturday when the pit bull attacked.
The son, 39, tried to pull the dogs apart but injured his knee in the process.
NSW Police Inspector Tara Norton said metal from the greyhound's muzzle lodged in the man's knee.
The man tried to grab the pit bull terrier by the collar but the dog ran off.
On Sunday morning, police went to a nearby home and spoke with the pit bull terrier's owner.
A police spokeswoman told AAP the dog was taken to a local pound pending further inquiries.
Pit bull terriers are restricted dogs in NSW and are required by law to be muzzled and on a leash when outside.
After the attack on Saturday, the father and son took their greyhounds to the vet.
One dog had to be put down and the other sustained minor injuries.
The son has also undergone knee surgery.
Insp Norton said the men were very distressed.
"Obviously no one likes to lose a pet and a much loved pet," she told ABC radio.
"And in addition to that we now have someone who is seeking treatment in hospital for a significant injury to his leg.
"So the whole situation has been terrible."
