A California woman was arrested after she allegedly bit a jogger who pepper-sprayed the suspect’s dog to fend off the animal at a San Francisco Bay area park Thursday, authorities said.

Alma Cadwalader, 19, of Oakland, was arrested Friday by police with the East Bay Regional Park District.

The incident began on a trail in Anthony Chabot Regional Park in Castro Valley, when the jogger used pepper spray to defend herself after Cadwalader’s dog tried to attack her.
