A man has suffered life-changing injuries after an XL Bully attack in Bristol.
Emergency services were called to the garden of a property in Quilter Grove, Knowle, at around 11.25am on Sunday morning (2 June).
Police dog handlers were deployed and the animal involved – understood to be a registered XL Bully – was sedated before being seized.
The victim sustained life-changing injuries and he remains in hospital for treatment.
A woman was arrested on suspicion of having a dog dangerously out of control. She has since been released on conditional bail.
“We’d like to reassure the public we do not believe there is any ongoing risk to public safety following this incident”, an Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said.
Adding: “Inquiries, including confirming the breed and registration of the dog, are ongoing.”
