A 36-year-old man has been arrested following a dog attack on a six-year-old girl in Trafford at the weekend.

Just before 2.40pm on Sunday, Greater Manchester Police officers were called to an address on Ackers Lane, Carrington.

The girl had suffered injuries caused by dogs and was taken to hospital, where she remains to receive treatment.

The man has been arrested on suspicion of offences under Section 3 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and perverting the course of justice.

The man, from the Carrington area of Trafford, remains in custody for questioning while investigations are ongoing.

So far 17 dogs have been seized by police following the incident.

Police earlier this week stated three people had been arrested on suspicion of owning a dangerous dog.

Anyone with any information of footage – including doorbell or dashcam – is asked to call 101 quoting incident number 1612-26/03/2023.
