A dog thought to be an American bully XL is to be destroyed after it attacked two women inside a home in Staffordshire.

Police were called at about 11:40 BST on Thursday to reports the dog was out of control at the Baker Crescent home in Baddeley Green, Stoke-on-Trent.

The women were treated at the scene before being taken to hospital.

Earlier this month Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced bully XL dogs would be banned after a spate of incidents.

It came after September’s fatal attack by two bully XLs on Ian Price in Stonnall, near Walsall.

Staffordshire Police said in Thursday’s attack the animal was contained at the scene by officers and ordered to be destroyed “following liaison with its owners”.

The force added inquiries into the incident were ongoing.

West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed it sent two ambulances and a paramedic to the address and took two female patients to Royal Stoke University Hospital for further treatment.
