A 10-year-old girl has suffered serious facial injuries after she was badly mauled by a Staffordshire bull terrier dog in North Yorkshire. | |
Emergency crews were called to an area close to Allanbrook Barracks at Thirsk on Thursday evening. | |
The girl was taken to James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough and was due to undergo surgery to repair her cheek. | |
The dog's owner, a woman aged 21, was arrested on suspicion of having a dog dangerously out of control in public. | |
The animal was put down immediately. A police statement was expected later. |
