An XL Bully attack has left a woman with a "serious upper limb wound" as she's rushed to hospital.

The incident took place on Friday, June 21, when the victim in her 50s was attacked while walking her dog.

The unnamed woman was walking her pooch along Main Road in Terrington St John, Norfolk, when the XL Bully appeared from a nearby property.

The dog attacked the woman and left her with a "serious upper limb wound" on her left arm.

She was given first aid at the scene to treat the wound.

An ambulance rushed the woman to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn for further treatment.

Police seized the dog which has been confirmed to be an XL Bully.

A spate of fatal XL Bully attacks resulted in Rishi Sunak launching a new ban on the breed without a certificate of exemption in February.
