CONTENT WARNING: GRAPHIC. Image of five year old boy’s facial injuries publicly released by police after being mauled by bull breed dog
South Yorkshire police have taken the unprecedented step of releasing the image of a five year old boy’s injuries after he was mauled by a “bull breed” dog in Mexborough.
The dog was off its lead and attacked the boy’s face, which a police inspector described as “irresponsible ownership.”
A 29-year-old man was arrested and has since been released on bail while the dog remains in police kennels.
