Good grief.

crikey . that's not good.

Oh my god! That is mad

OMG that's my own town We did notice lots of police cars, vans, dog units, officers cordening off a street as we drove past it all along the seafront to get to the beach, but that was Saturday night and we suspected a stabbing or something. Maybe they got the day wrong and this is the aftermath we saw then coz it would have also been around that time

I'll try and find out what dogs they were coz my neighbour knows everything, she has a shop down town. How terrifying for those poor people, I feel more sorry for them, going about their business than I do 2 aggressive dogs who would attack humans willy nilly like that

Go on Helena - you can be our detective!

Awful attack - would like to know the circumstances/what happened.

There's no mention of breed (or the usual "pit-bull type") so will be interested to know more.

Am intrigued to know what breed they were, you would have thought if it were bull breeds the press would have been all over it by now.

I hope it isn't as the less bad press the better. I read a dog attack story a while back and they put a slobbering snarling staff in the picture in the paper but the dog that attacked was a collie!

I'm on the case......

Still not known what breed of dogs, which are currently in police custody. Will find out tonight when neighbour gets home, coz it's bound to have been the talk of the town in her shop.

Marline Road, St. Leonards-on-Sea was the name of the road H...

Yes, they said it was actually St Leonards on that radio clip I posted, and Hastings and St Leonards are kind of 'as one' being right next to each other, especially the seafront end. My other neighbours are away, so it's down to this other one tonight now.
