A woman has been charged over the death of a 42-year-old man who was attacked by a dog in east London.
Officers were called to Shirley Road in Stratford at 4.53am on Wednesday after receiving reports that the man had been seriously injured, Scotland Yard said.
The man was taken to hospital where he later died. His family had been informed and a postmortem examination would take place in due course, police said. The dog involved in the incident had been seized.
Leanne McDonnell, 32, of Stratford, was charged with owning a dog dangerously out of control causing injury resulting in death.
She was also charged with failing in the duty, as a person responsible for an animal, to ensure its welfare and with having custody of a fighting dog; and with three counts of owning a dog dangerously out of control causing no injury, in relation to a separate incident on 18 November.
She was remanded in custody and was due to appear at Barkingside magistrates court on Friday, police said.
