An XL Bully-type dog has been seized by police after attacking a woman in Preston.
Police were called to Kingsway, a quiet residential street in Ashton, where the woman was mauled by the loose dog around 8.44pm last night. Officers seized the out-of-control dog while paramedics treated the woman who suffered serious bites to her chest and leg. She was taken to hospital by ambulance for further treatment. One resident said the woman could be heard ‘screaming’ from the next street over.
Officers attended and an XL Bully type dog was seized. “A woman was taken to hospital for treatment on dog bite injuries to her chest and leg. “We know the owner and it is being investigated.” North West Ambulance Service confirmed a patient was taken to hospital but was unable to provide further details. The force believes the dog is likely an XL-Bully but was unable to say for certain at this stage. Last year, the government added XL Bullies to the UK’s banned and dangerous breed list.
