A Wallsend man savagely attacked by a dog while he was out on a walk has shared images of his horrific injuries as police launch an investigation into the incident.
Keith Richards was left needing hospital treatment after a Pit Bull reportedly launched a vicious attack on him while he walked his Border Terrier on Archer Street at around 8.15pm on February 14.
The 44-year-old told Chronicle Live he suffered bites on his right underarm, shoulder blade, collarbone and to the right side of his body during the 10-minute ordeal. Keith, who runs his own window cleaning business, has also been left unable to work while his injuries heal and faces the possibility of needing plastic surgery.
