Police were called at around 1:15pm by the North West Ambulance Service following reports a three-year-old boy had been injured at Carr Lane, Milnrow, Greater Manchester Police said.Officers in Rochdale have since launched an investigation after it is believed he was attacked by a dog.
“A thorough investigation is ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding this incident and review other incidents of note. Due to previous contact, GMP’s Professional Standards Branch is making a referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct. “We are aware of speculation on social media and ask that members of the public and the media refrain from engaging in speculation at this time until our investigation is complete and any subsequent criminal proceedings have concluded."Detective Superintendent Jamie Daniels, of GMP's Public Protection and Serious Crime Division, last night said: "This is a tragic, devastating incident and our thoughts are with the family at this horrendous time.
"I can only assure everyone that we will work relentlessly to establish the full circumstances that led to this tragedy and while we retain an open mind, this is now being dealt with as a criminal investigation.
Probably not on their leads I imagine. Honestly it should be a hefty fine for any dog off a leash.
Disgusting. No doubt dog owners all over the country are saying “Well MY dog wouldn’t hurt a fly” 🙄🤦♂️ There are no exceptions. All dogs have the tendency to kill children.
