Hull XL Bully attack: Boy, 5, rushed to hospital after being mauled by beast
The youngster is currently in hospital receiving treatment after the incident on Monday.
A five-year-old boy has suffered horror injuries to his head after a brutal attack by an XL bully - in another devastating incident involving the dangerous breed of dog.
The boy is currently receiving treatment in hospital after the incident on Brazil Street in Hull.
Humberside Police's DCI Allison Sweeting said: "We are working closely with the boy's family and the owner of the dog to understand the circumstances surrounding the incident.
"At this stage, the breed of dog is believed to be an XL bully type and it has been seized as part of our enquiries."
On that occasion, Angeline Mahal died earlier in May at her Hornchurch, East London home after being mauled by her two registered XL Bullys.
The pair of dogs were seized by cops - who were kitted out with riot shields - after they were contained in a room in the property.
An unnamed relative said they "used to always urge her to give up the dogs".
They added: "It was more because the dogs were a bit of a tether, they took up a lot of her time with feeding and walking. It limited her freedom.
"But there’s something I want to make clear and it’s that anyone who has XL Bully-type dog needs to do the right thing if they spot their pets becoming aggressive and give them up.
"I know it’s hard because people have such an attachment - but we wouldn’t want any other family to go through this.
"She was a sincere person with such a kind heart."
