Birmingham police detain 60-year-old man after XL bulldog attack

A man has been taken into custody for his involvement in a frightening incident where an 11-year-old girl was attacked by an American XL bully dog.

A schoolgirl named Ana Paun was attacked by a dangerous animal while she was going to the shops with her sister Geneza, who is 18 years old. This incident happened in Bordesley Green, Birmingham on Saturday.

The police have arrested a 60-year-old man because they think he has a dangerous dog.

West Midlands Police said today that he has been released on bail with certain rules to follow while they continue their investigation.

The police also mentioned that the dog, which is a mixed breed puppy of American XL bully and Staffordshire bull terrier, is kept safely in kennels.

The scary event hurt young Ana. She is now very scared and does not want to go outside anymore. She thinks the dog should be killed.

Ana described the attack, saying that the dog surprised her by suddenly approaching her after escaping from its collar.
She said to MailOnline: ‘The dog looked at me and when I got closer, it suddenly jumped and bit my arm.

It kept looking at me without stopping and didn’t look away even when it was biting.

It got stuck on my arm and didn’t want to come off. I was shouting as loudly as possible.

The police also said that they were proud of the people who stepped in to help Ana because they were very brave.
Two men who tried to help her were also bitten and got hurt on their shoulders and arms when the dog managed to escape from its collar two times.

They were brought to the hospital to get treatment for their injuries. The police mentioned that Ana also got hurt but her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

On Monday, the West Midlands Police said that they took the dog away from its owners because it was too hot and needed medical help.

The dog has been brought to a safe place called kennels, and the dog unit will decide what will happen to it.

The person who owns the dog is in the hospital right now, and we will talk to them at the appropriate time.

This was a scary and surprising event on a crowded road in hot weather, and people showed a lot of bravery in dealing with a very aggressive dog.

‘We are talking to the people who were hurt or saw what happened, and we will have more police officers around the neighborhood in case someone wants to talk to us. ‘

The incident made Home Secretary Suella Braverman ask for quick advice on whether the breed should be prohibited.
