john b 38 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 A four-year-old boy has been seriously injured after being attacked by a dog near Holywell in Flintshire. An off-duty policeman and the boy's father intervened and all three were injured. They were taken to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire. Both men were treated for bite wounds. The boy remains in hospital with serious, not life-threatening injuries. Police say the animal's breed has not yet been established, but it was not banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act. It was later destroyed by a vet. It is understood the youngster suffered injuries to his arm and torso. A police spokeswoman said the boy had not suffered facial injuries. Police were called at 1920 BST (1820 GMT) on Tuesday after reports the boy had been attacked on the Tan y Felin estate in Greenfield. An off-duty police officer, Pc Tony Jones, 38, witnessed the attack and ran to the boy's aid. Bandage He was bitten by the animal - described by one witness as a Rhodesian Ridgeback called Bruno - and required hospital treatment. At his home on Wednesday, Pc Jones, who has a bandaged left hand, confirmed the injured boy was taken to his house and an ambulance was called, but said he was unable to discuss the incident further. A North Wales Police spokeswoman said: "He will be a key witness and we will most probably be taking a statement from him." The spokeswoman confirmed the dog was not banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act, but added: "We are looking at other aspects of the case." One neighbour who witnessed the attack said the little boy was walking along a pavement with a man - thought to be his father - when the dog came out of a house and pounced on the child.
