A heroic neighbour stepped in to rescue a four-year-old boy who was attacked by an out-of-control dog.
Residents on Wellesbourne Place, Norris Green, heard a screech as a dog launched itself at the young boy on the evening of Saturday, August 13. Merseyside Police confirmed that a four-year-old had serious injuries caused by a bull mastiff type breed which attacked while he was visiting a friend's house in the tight, car lined close.
The brave neighbour managed to pull the boy away from the dog, and the youngster was rushed to hospital where he remains. His condition is described as serious but stable.
