85-year-old woman dies after being attacked by two dogs at a neighbor’s house in the United Kingdom

AN 85-YEAR-OLD WOMAN died after being attacked by two dogs on a neighboring property in the UK.

A 43-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident in Rowley Regis, West Midlands and was subsequently released on bail pending further investigations.

Speaking at a press conference in front of the West Bromwich Police Station this morning, Superintendent Phil Asquith said: “Neighbors called to report that an 85-year-old woman was being attacked by dogs from a neighboring property.

“Our officers attended, at which point the dogs had returned through a hole in the fence to the adjacent property and then, unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the medical professionals, that lady died at the scene.

An operation was then underway to secure the dogs. They were later reassured and transported to secure kennels where they currently remain and are being breed tested.

“Fortunately, these types of incidents are rare. This did not pose a major threat to the public. There was a hole in the adjacent facilities, so they didn’t run through the streets, “added Asquith.

“It was restrained and the male who owned those dogs was arrested yesterday. He was later released on bail for further investigation while we conducted a forensic autopsy to determine the cause of death and determine the breed of the dogs involved. “
