There's a lot of reasone why a dog may bite. It may be sick and in pain, as you suggest. It may be badly trained and showing territorial aggression. It may be a cowardly fear biter. It's impossible to tell from the little bit of information you provided.
It's the owner's responsibility to protect their dog from injury and harm, and to protect the public from their dog. It sounds like they're doing a prety rotten job in both areas.
In the meanwhile, you have to take whatever measures are necessary to protect yourself from this dog.
