THREE people have been taken to hospital after a dog attack in a home in a quiet street in Worcester. 

Two people have been rushed to hospital, and a third injured after the dog attack.

A woman has suffered life-threatening injuries, a man has serious injuries and another was injured after a dog attacked them in a house in Boughton Avenue, St Johns.

Officers had given first aid to two of the people before paramedics arrived.

Two ambulances, two paramedic officers and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham were sent to the scene at 9.11am this morning.

The dog was dead when officers arrived. 

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “On arrival, crews discovered three patients; two men and a woman.

“The woman was treated by ambulance crews and medics for serious injuries before being conveyed via land ambulance to University Hospital Birmingham for further treatment; Midlands Air Ambulance medics travelled on board to provide continued treatment en route.

“One of the men was treated for serious injuries before being taken to Worcestershire Royal Hospital by land ambulance.

“The second man was treated for injuries not believed to be serious but did not wish to go to hospital and so was given self-care advice before being discharged at the scene.”
