Woman seriously injured in 'horrific' dog attack
GoogleA woman has been left seriously injured in a "horrific" dog attack in Sheffield, police said.
The animals, believed to be a bully-type breed and a Staffordshire bull terrier, attacked her while she was walking her dog in East Glade Way, Birley, at about 08:55 BST on Wednesday.
The woman suffered multiple puncture wounds, South Yorkshire Police said, and was taken to hospital. Her dog also required veterinary treatment.
A 26-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury, grievous bodily harm and drug offences.
The two dogs were safely captured and taken into police kennels while investigations continue.
Ch Insp Jon Greaves, from the force, said: "This was a horrific attack on a woman walking her dog down the street.
"Owners need to take precautions and be realistic and understanding of their dog's ability to cause harm."
