A two-year-old boy is in critical condition in hospital after being attacked on a property in Egdon, Worcester, on Monday. An incident followed on Saturday in Cannock, in which an eight-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl were treated. In the attack in Egdon, police did not say how many dogs were involved, but suggested there were more than one. The animals have been removed from the property and pose no danger to the public, West Mercia police said.

Police said officers would remain at the Worcester Countryside Center and at the address in Egdon “for some time”. “This is an incredibly sad incident and our thoughts are with the toddler and his family,” said Chief Inspector Fergus Green.
