The two dogs were reportedly not on a leash when they set upon the two women.
Marangaroo mother Helen Mato said she was bitten, fell to the ground and had to escape into a passing Uber that had stopped.
Even then, the animals were undeterred and began “attacking” the car, she said.
Another woman in her 20s was taken to Joondalup Health Campus for treatment for multiple dog bites.
A witness told 7NEWS she heard yelling, screaming and barking.
“It just sounded really bad,” local Jennie said.
