A man has suffered life threatening accidents and another was additionally injured by a dangerously out of control dog.
Armed police have been referred to as to Hamilton in South Lanarkshire, Scotland at around 5pm this night after a canine was reported as being dangerously uncontrolled.
The dog first attacked a man on Loudonhill Avenue, the place he suffered minor accidents, before happening to attack the second man in Tinto View.
The second man has been rushed to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow with 'life-threatening injuries'.
Police shot and killed the canine when it tried to attack an officer. The pressure says they may now attempt to determine its actual breed as at present it is just described as a 'giant bulldog-type dog'.
Superintendent Steven Espie stated: 'This was a distressing incident for these concerned. I want to reassure the area people that this was a contained incident and there's no additional danger to the public.
'There can be a continued police presence in the area while our inquiries proceed. Inquiries are also ongoing to determine the breed of the canine.'
The attack comes just weeks after the XL Bully breed was added to the list of dangerous dogs in England and Wales.
On December 31 it turned illegal to breed, sell, advertise, rehome, abandon, or permit an XL Bully dog to stray. All XL Bullies have to be muzzled and on a lead in public.
Final yr, prime minister Rishi Sunak referred to as the breed a 'danger to communities' after Ian Price was killed by two of the dogs while protecting his elderly mum.
