The man was taken to hospital but could not be saved. The dog was destroyed at the scene
A 44-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of a 54-year-old man in Sunderland who was attacked by a dog which is believed to have been an XL Bully, Northumbria Police said. The force said it received a report of an attack at an address in Maple Terrace in Shiney Row, Sunderland, at around 6.55pm.
A second dog was also seized from the address as a precaution, police said. Northumbria Police have assured the public there is no wider risk to the community. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak promised to ban the breed in September under the Dangerous Dogs Act by the end of the year. An official spokesman for Mr Rishi said a “transition period” would be introduced, with details likely to follow a consultation on the plan.
Early in September, a 60-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possessing a dog dangerously out of control after two men and an 11-year-old girl were injured by an XL bully crossbreed in Birmingham. In a separate incident Ian Price, a 52-year-old from Staffordshire, died in hospital after being attacked by two XL bullies.
