A COUPLE and their young child were attacked by a dog in Colne.
The dog, described as a black and tan Rottweiler with a thick cable-tie collar, approached the one-year-old child then attacked her mother when she pulled her away.
The couple managed to fight off the dog and drove to hospital.
The mum, a 22-year-old woman, needed treatment to bites on her arm and leg, while her partner, a 30-year-old man, sustained a cut finger in the incident at Earith Lakes Fisheries in Holme Fen Drove at 2.50pm on Tuesday (July 23).
The girl was not injured.
