Man seriously injured after being bitten by two dogs
Main article content
We are investigating after a man received serious injuries after been bitten by two dogs in Stonnall.
We were called just before 3.15pm this afternoon (Thursday 14 September) to Main Street to reports that a man had been attacked by two dogs outside a property.
The man has been taken to hospital.
A number of people helped to try and get the dogs off the man and contained one of the dogs outside. The other was contained within the owner’s flat. We prevented a number of school children leaving local primary school, St Peter’s Primary Academy, for safety reasons. The children have since been allowed to go home.
A 30-year-old man, from the Lichfield area, has been arrested on suspicion of having dogs dangerously out of control.
An investigation is ongoing including the determination of the dogs’ breed.
