Girl in hospital after dog attack

Monday, 30 August 2010

A 10-year-old girl is being treated in hospital after being attacked by two Rottweilers.

The child was riding her bike in Dundee's Dryburgh Street on Sunday when she was set upon by the dogs.

She suffered a fractured jaw in the attack and will require plastic surgery, Tayside Police said.

It is understood the dogs will be put down on Monday and their owners may be charged.

The attack happened at around 11am on Sunday as the girl cycled near shops.

The dogs were disturbed by the child's grandmother, who ran from her nearby home, and a passing motorist who tooted his horn.

The girl is being treated at Ninewells Hospital.

Police said inquiries into the attack were continuing and appealed for witnesses to contact them.
