A 10-year-old girl is in hospital in Dundee after being attacked by two Rottweiler dogs in the street.
The incident happened at about 1100 BST on Sunday as she was riding her bike in Dryburgh Street.
The girl’s grandmother, who lives in the area, ran from her house to help. A passing motorist also sounded his horn to try to distract the dogs.
The child was taken to Ninewells Hospital in the city. Her injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
However, it is understood she has a fractured jaw and will need plastic surgery.
Tayside Police are carrying out inquiries and have traced the two dogs and confined them to kennels.
It is thought the animals will be put down.
