A woman has been seriously injured after her four dogs attacked her at her home.
Armed police were called to the property on Assam Close in St Helens, England, on Monday, Dec. 6, with a large number of emergency response vehicles also in attendance, including ambulance and fire crews.
The extent of the woman’s injuries is currently unknown but police describe them as “serious”.
Neighbours on the street said emergency services were on the scene for over an hour as they watched the police load a small dog into an unmarked van.

“The woman sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital.
