A six-year-old girl fights for her life in the hospital after being attacked by a dog.
The attack took place just before 4.30pm on Monday in Ormesby St, Woodridge, south of Brisbane.
It is understood that the little girl is currently in Queensland Children’s Hospital after suffering significant abdominal, chest and shoulder injuries.
It is clear that the girl was standing on a fence when the dog jumped up and dragged her into the yard.
A male relative of the girl jumped the fence to save her and was also bitten, suffering leg injuries.
It is clear that the girl’s injuries are significant and she was taken to hospital under flashing lights and sirens.
The man, in his late twenties, was taken to QEII Jubilee Hospital in stable condition.
A dog was seen being taken from a property and police remained at the scene until about 6:30pm.
Police said the Child Protection Investigation Unit had been notified.
More to come.
