Police have shot dead an XL bully dog in the grounds of a primary school after it attacked a woman in her back garden and escaped. Officers arrived to find the woman, aged in her 60s, being mauled by her pet at a property in Brisley, Norfolk, on Monday afternoon. A member of the public had alerted police after seeing the woman being attacked and 'screaming for help'. The dog ran off but it was found a short time later after someone had managed to secure it to a post in a school car park.
'Officers were faced with an incredibly difficult situation when they arrived at the scene - a woman being viciously attacked by her dog and was very clearly injured and in some pain. 'In the interests of public safety and at the request of the owner, the dog was humanely destroyed.' The woman attacked was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and is now recovering. A series of XL bully attacks have been reported in recent months, some of which have been fatal.
