attack woman has 300 stitches
Saturday, November 4, 2000 A WOMAN who was attacked by a pack of dogs needed more than 300 stitiches for her injuries. The woman, aged 43, was bitten about 100 times by the dogs which included a Staffordshire bull terrier and a bull mastiff. She was walking near an industrial estate to her newsagents' shop at Murton, Co Durham, when the attack occurred on Thursday. The animals ran off when a group of nearby workmen armed themselves with scaffolding poles and sticks and went to the woman's aid after hearing her screams. A passer-by also joined in. The woman, a mother of three who lives in the neighbouring village of Seaham, was taken to Sunderland Royal Hospital and then transferred to a specialist unit at Shotley Bridge Hospital. She does not want to be named. Schools in the area have been alerted to the danger. A Co Durham Police spokesman said: "After surgery to treat her extensive wounds the woman is in a comfortable condition. She is expected to be in hospital for several days." © Copyright of Telegraph Group Limited 2000. BACK to Animal Attack Files Index Tell a Friend about the Animal Attack Files |
