Police have seized 17 dogs following a brutal dog attack on a six-year-old girl in Trafford on Sunday.
Emergency services were called to Ackers Lane in Carrington, Trafford at around 2.40pm to a report of a child who had suffered injuries caused by dogs.
Horrified neighbours said they looked on as another young girl and a man fought the dogs off the child, who was then carried off unconscious by a woman believed to be her mother. She is now understood to be in a stable condition in hospital.
