6 year old girl bitten by pit bull
ON Tuesday, 28 April 2015, a 6 year old
girl was bitten by a dog in Waterloo, Merseyside. The girl was taken to Alder
Hey Children's Hospital where we are informed at time of publishing this report,
she is still in a stable condition. The dog which was seized by police has now
been subject to examination which has confirmed that it is a pit bull breed
which is banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act. Merseyside Police have also
confirmed that Lee Jay Cluskey, 19 years, Waterloo, has since been charged with
being the owner/person in control of a dog dangerously out of control causing
injury. We are told that he was also charged with obstructing Police. Cluskey is
due to appear before South Sefton Magistrates Court on Wednesday, 20 May 2015.
No further action is being taken against a 17 year old female, from Crosby, who
was also arrested in connection with the incident. |
