A one-year-old baby and two adults have been rushed to hospital after being attacked by a dog on a residential street in Manchester.
Armed police and specialist dog handlers descended on Baslow Road in Denton following reports of an out of control dog earlier this evening.
The animal was eventually captured and detained, with footage on social media showing the dog being led into the back of a police van.
Eyewitnesses claimed people were left ‘covered in blood’ following the incident.
One person close to the incident said: ‘There’s people covered in blood and a baby’s been taken to hospital.
‘There were others who looked injured. A dog section and armed police went in with guns.’
