Woman and child attacked by 'dangerous' dog in Sheffield

A video showing a woman and her one-year-old daughter caught up in an attack by a "dangerous" dog has been released by South Yorkshire Police.

Officers said the woman was walking her dog on Richmond Road with her one-year-old daughter when a Staffordshire bull terrier escaped its owner.

Police said they had shared footage of the incident in Sheffield on 2 September to "highlight the ongoing problem of owners not taking responsibility for their dog's actions".

The dog was seized by officers but returned to the owner under specific guidance.

The owner was being processed through "restorative justice for the harm caused to the victims", South Yorkshire Police said.
