Riot cops scrambled to a street in Dundee after reports of a fight between two XL Bullies.
Officers were alerted to the incident at Cardoss Place in the city at around 6:30pm last night, Saturday, May 25.
Two women have been charged under the Dangerous Dogs Act and two dogs ‘removed to kennels’ following the incident. A report will now be sent to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.
The dogs are understood to be XL Bullies, which are officially a banned breed – meaning owners are required to follow strict rules.
Speaking to The Courier, local residents described seeing a woman covered in blood as riot police descended on the street.
One neighbour claims they were told by police to go inside their homes after they spotted a woman “covered in blood”.
Another man, who did not wish to be named, claimed he saw a young child trying to separate two dogs who started fighting.
He commented: “It was scary scenes that unfolded here on Saturday night. A child was trying to help separate these two XL Bully-style dogs, he was hysterical.
“This could have ended in an absolute tragedy.
“One woman’s jacket turned red with blood as she tried to separate these dogs.”
Another local said it was “mayhem” before police arrived.
He said: “It was mayhem. It was literally like a scene from Shameless. When the police arrived we were told to get back inside our homes.
“It’s scary what went down here on Saturday. It could have ended in a tragedy."
