Three-week old baby dies after being bitten by dog in Sunderland
A three-week old baby has died after being bitten by a dog in Sunderland.
Police received reports a baby boy had been bitten by a dog inside an
address in Falkland Road at about 04:15 BST.
He was taken to hospital where he later died. Police said the small terrier
dog had been removed from the address and is likely to be destroyed.
Northumbria Police said a 30-year-old man had been arrested in connection
with the incident. Inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances.
A neighbour said the baby was a "lovely bairn".
She said: "They're all right [the family], they're no bother and his wife,
she looks after them bairns, she was over the moon with her little boy.
Tributes to the baby boy have been left at the scene
"It's a shock more than anything else, I cannot get over it. It's shocking."
Superintendent Gillian Mitchell said: "This is obviously a very tragic
incident and our thoughts are with the family of the baby at such a
difficult time."
More than 200,000 people a year are estimated to be bitten by dogs in
England, based on research for the British Medical Journal. |
