Second pitbull attack in a week
Tuesday, 10 June 2008


In the second attack by a pitbull terrier within a week, a 33-year-old woman suffered serious injuries when she was mauled yesterday evening.

The Castlecliff woman was taken to Wanganui Hospital with serious injuries to both arms when the pitbull attacked her about 5pm.

A two-year-old Auckland toddler was attacked by a pitbull last Thursday, leaving him with a broken jaw and severe facial injuries. He is in a stable condition in Auckland's Starship
Hospital.

The dog, owned by the toddler's father who will not face charges, was destroyed on Saturday.

It was on private property, and restrained at the time of the attack.

A Wanganui police spokeswoman said the injured woman owned the tan pitbull, which had been seized by dog control officers.
