Derbyshire Police are yet to confirm the attack which allegedly occurred in Ilkeston at 6pm on Friday.

Locals say cops removed two dogs, thought to be Staffordshire Bull Terriers, from a home in the rural town.

They claim a dog removal van and a dog handler officer was also at the scene.

Speaking to Derbyshire Live, one resident said: “There were quite a lot of police cars and it looked really serious.

“I think they had someone in the back of a police van but I couldn’t see much.”

Another added: “The police were next to the roundabout and they were there for quite a while.

“I can’t imagine how the people involved must have felt.”
