A YOUNG girl has been rushed to hospital with serious injuries after being attacked by an XL Bully in Evesham yesterday (Monday, November 4).
The seven-year-old girl remains in a stable condition at Birmingham Children’s Hospital after being attacked inside a house on Laxton Crescent, Evesham around 1pm.
After the attack, West Mercia Police arrived on scene and seized three dogs at the address. Police have confirmed the dog who bit the girl – a registered XL Bully – has since been put down.
