Dog attack in Te Atatu
Waitakere Animal Welfare staff are investigating a dog attack on a woman that occurred yesterday around 4.30pm.
Animal Welfare and Police were at the scene within 10 minutes.
The woman was walking with her young child near Rutherford Primary School on Toru Street.
The child was apparently bitten on the arm and was taken to hospital. She received an unknown number of stitches. The mother of the child was also bitten but did not require hospital treatment.
The Council's Animal Welfare staff believe the dog lives nearby and if it can be positively identified it is likely it will be seized and the owner prosecuted. A destruction order is a consequence of a prosecution.
