Baby and two adults rushed to hospital 'covered in blood' after being attacked by a dog as air ambulance rushes in

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: "We were called to Baslow Road, Denton, at around 5:50pm today (May 29) to reports several people had been attacked by a dog."

Emergency services including CID officers and detectives attended to conduct investigations at the residential street.

Three people were injured in the attack, including a one-year-old child and two adults.

All three victims were airlifted to Manchester Royal Infirmary hospital to be treated for their injuries, with their current condition remaining unknown.

One witness told the Daily Mail: "There's people covered in blood and a baby's been taken to hospital. There were others who looked injured."

The extent of the injuries sustained by the victims has not been disclosed by police.

A large emergency services presence raced to the scene and cordoned off the residential street.

An air ambulance helicopter landed on a green nearby and remained at the scene for around an hour following the incident.

Local families, including children, observed the scene from behind the cordon, with many asking about the unfolding situation.

A significant emergency services presence remained at the scene late into the evening.

One witness described seeing armed police officers approach with guns, saying: "A dog section and armed police went in with guns."

Footage has emerged of the dog being captured and taken into a police van, with its breed currently unknown.

The GMP dog unit vehicles have now left the scene with cordons remaining in place.

The street remains cordoned off with an investigation underway.

No further details have been released by police, who remain at the scene conducting their investigation.
