Two men have been charged with felony battery for a Halloween night attack on a police officer for the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

John Hill was trick-or-treating with his fiancee and their three children when he said they were attacked by two pit bulls. He said he kicked at one of the dogs in order to protect his family.

That's apparently when James Aaron Wright, the owner of the dogs, and Eric Scott Dismuke attacked Hill. Wright said he was only trying to protect his animals.

Video from a local television station shows a badly-bruised Hill with marks all over his face. He was treated for a swollen right eye, a deep cut over his eyebrow, a battered nose, a cut to the chin and injuries to both knees and his left wrist.
