A distressing incident unfolded on Saturday evening when a 5-year-old girl was viciously attacked by a dog outside Nisa on Norton Road Teesside. The incident occurred at approximately 6.30pm prompting swift police intervention.
Upon receiving the distress call, law enforcement officers promptly arrived at the scene, mere minutes after the incident was reported. They provided immediate medical aid to the young girl while awaiting the arrival of medical personnel.
Tragically, the girl sustained significant facial injuries as a result of the attack and is currently undergoing treatment in a local hospital. The severity of her injuries has raised concerns among the community and underscored the potential dangers of dog-related incidents.
Following the incident, the owner of the dog responsible for the attack remained present at the scene and cooperated with the police. The law enforcement team seized the dog for further investigation and evaluation.
In light of the ongoing investigation, authorities have issued a request to the public to refrain from sharing images or details related to the incident on social media. Speculative discussions and sharing of sensitive content can hinder the investigative process and cause unnecessary distress to those involved.
