Two men charged after multiple dog attacks in Edinburgh
Two Edinburgh men have been charged under the Dangerous Dogs Act following three incidents in Sighthill and Currie last month.
A 53-year-old is accused after a Staffordshire Bull Terrier attacked a dog in Forth View on 18 February. The same dog was involved in another incident on 8 March, attacking a second dog and injuring a 74-year-old woman, who did not require medical treatment.
The third incident occurred in Sighthill Court on 24 February, when a bully-type dog attacked a 16-year-old girl. She was not seriously hurt, and a 19-year-old man has been charged.
Both cases have been reported to the Procurator Fiscal.
Sergeant Mark Coull of the Community Policing Team said: "We will always respond to community concerns regarding dangerous dog incidents. We work with our partners at Edinburgh City Council's Street Enforcement Team in response to these concerns and take the appropriate action.
"We continue to urge anyone with any concerns to report them to local officers through 101."
