🚨 Dog Attack in Newport 🚨
Heads up, Newport locals! A shocking incident unfolded on Witham Street when two people were injured by a dog. Emergency teams, including police and paramedics, rushed to the scene just after 12.30pm on Thursday.
While both individuals are fortunately not facing life-threatening injuries, one man suffered a hand injury, and the other sustained an injury to his leg. The dog involved was swiftly seized by officers and sadly put down by a vet later.
A 35-year-old man from Rogiet has been arrested on suspicion of having a dangerously out-of-control dog that caused injury. As investigations are ongoing, the man has been released on conditional bail.
Stay alert and safe, everyone, and let’s hope for a speedy recovery for those involved! 🙏
