We were called to reports of a dog attack at an address on Ripon Drive, West Bromwich, at around 4.40pm today (Fri). A man has received serious injuries after being attacked in a garden at the back of the property. Our colleagues from the ambulance service gave him treatment at the scene before he was transported to hospital. The dog was Tasered by specialist officers from our dog unit but died at the scene. There is no wider threat to the community. We realise incidents of this nature are concerning to the community so we will have extra officers in the area tonight to offer reassurance. We are in the early stages of our investigation and people with information should contact us via Live chat on our website or by calling 101 quoting log number 3714 of 14 March.
