The incident, involving a dog suspected to be an XL bully, occurred late Monday evening, prompting police action and arrests.

Four men were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries following an attack by a suspected XL bully dog in Battersea, south London.
Armed police responded to the scene, ultimately shooting the dog due to the threat it posed to the public.
A 22-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of being the owner/person in charge of a dangerously out of control dog.
