A woman has been taken to hospital with "significant" injuries after being attacked by two dogs in a house.

West Yorkshire Police were called to a property on North Carr, in Dalton, Huddersfield, just before 22:00 BST on Sunday.

The dogs, believed to be an English bulldog and a Presa Canario, were contained inside and later put down.

The woman, aged in her 60s, suffered injuries to her arm that are not believed to be life-threatening and investigations are ongoing, the force added.

Presa Canarios are a Spanish breed of mastiff that are often kept as farm guard dogs in the Canary Islands.
