PITTSBURGH -- The agent of Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison
said the player's toddler son is "doing well" at a Pittsburgh hospital
following an attack by a pit bull.

Harrison's agent, William Parise, says 2-year-old James Harrison III was
bitten on the thigh after his mother let the dog out of its pen Thursday
afternoon.

Parise said Saturday he was with the boy at UPMC Children's Hospital of
Pittsburgh, and the boy was expected to remain there for another day or
two.

Parise said the child's mother and the player's massage therapist also
were hurt trying to help James III, and the therapist needed three
stitches.

A hospital spokesman declined comment Saturday, saying the family has
asked that no information be released.

Harrison Charged With Assaulting Girlfriend
Posted: 11:05 pm EST March 8, 2008Updated: 11:36 pm EST March 8, 2008

OHIO TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison was
charged with simple assault and criminal mischief on Saturday after an
altercation with his girlfriend.

According to an affidavit, just before 1 p.m. on Saturday, Ohio Township
police officers were dispatched to a domestic call.

While on the way to the house, the caller stated that the man left the scene
in a gray Hummer.

When officers arrived, the woman stated that her boyfriend and she had an
argument and she locked herself in the bedroom.

While in the room, she attempted to call 911, when police say James Harrison
broke through the door, took her cell phone and broke it in half.

The woman then stated that Harrison slapped her in the face with an open
hand and knocked off her glasses.

The woman had red marks on her left cheek, according to police.

Police located James Harrison, and they said that during an interview with
him, he told police he broke through the door and slapped the woman.

Police then arrested Harrison and took him to the Allegheny County Jail.

He was released on his own recognizance.

The Pittsburgh Steelers told Channel 11 that they heard about the incident
and are looking into it as a personnel matter.
