XL Bully seriously injures man & woman in Mansfield in vicious attack that saw victim fall out flat window
AN XL Bully has seriously injured a man and a woman in Mansfield in a vicious attack that saw a victim fall from a flat window.
Two people were left with serious injuries after the mauling in Nottinghamshire last night.
Cops have seized a dog reported to be on the loose following the attack in Mansfield shortly after 11pm.
Both the man and the woman were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Cops believe the woman fell from the window of a flat where the attack started.
Nottinghamshire Police said: “The dog, believed to be an XL Bully type, was subsequently seized from a nearby property and taken to secure kennels.
“‘A 38-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control.
“‘”The injuries sustained are not believed to be life-threatening and an investigation is ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.”
Any witnesses, or anyone with any information, is urged to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 823 of November 3.
Alternatively, information can be given anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
The incident is the latest in a recent series of dangerous dog attacks.
A child was rushed to hospital last month in South Norfolk after being bitten by two dogs.
The owner of the two animals – German Shepherd and Dogue de Bordeaux crossbreeds – handed them over to cops, who said they would be destroyed.
A man told The Sun how he feared he was about to die when a raging dog hauled him into oncoming traffic in Sheffield.
That came a week after a man died following an attack by two dogs – thought to be American bully XLs – in Staffordshire.
Brave schoolgirl Ana Paun also told that month of thinking she would die when savaged in Birmingham by an XL Bully.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak vowed to ban the XL bully breed by the end of this year.
