The unnamed child was rushed to A&E by ambulance following the incident at an address in Ackers Lane, Carrington, Manchester.

Police informed that three people have been taken into custody on suspicion of owning a dangerous dog.

A total of four dogs were taken by officers, who said the girl remains in a stable condition.

They told the Mirror: "Shortly before 2.40pm today. police were called to a report of a child who had suffered injuries caused by dogs at an address on Ackers Lane, Carrington.

"The girl was taken to hospital and is in a stable condition. Four dogs were seized by officers and have been taken away by specialist partners."

Alice Stones was tragically killed by her family's pet dog in January.

In February, a grandmother and her 12-year-old grandson were hurt after being set upon by a dog at a UK holiday park.

"My grandson had picked me a stick that day because I've got arthritis in my knee and I'm waiting for an operation which has been cancelled," Cheryl May told Cornwall Live.

"All of a sudden we looked up and this dog came towards us and he went straight for Zac."

Devon and Cornwall Police were responsible for investigating the vicious attack.
