Drama in Fordbridge street following "dog attack"

ARMED police swarmed Fordbridge after a dog allegedly attacked a woman yesterday (Wednesday).
Officers arrested a man on suspicion of owning a dangerous dog following dramatic scenes outside Linacre House, a high-rise building on Heathmere Drive.
It is claimed that a middle-aged woman suffered serious injuries to her arm after being mauled by a "Pitbull-type" animal.
Solihull Police confirmed that they had dispatched officers to the street at around 7.30pm.
A male suspect was detained in the vicinity of the tower block and an animal has also been seized.
The 59-year-old woman was taken to Heartlands Hospital to receive treatment for her wounds.
In a statement issued earlier today, a West Midlands Police spokesman said: "A 44-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of owning a dangerous dog and remains in police custody this morning (Thursday, August 8) as enquiries continue."
Eyewitnesses report that close to a dozen police cars had descended on the scene and armed officers were among those who attended. Paramedics had also been called to the incident.
Under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 - which was introduced to clamp down on canines which could be a risk to the public - four breeds are banned in the UK.
The most famous is probably the Pit Bull terrier, although it is also illegal to own Japanese Tosa, bred for use in blood sports, and the Dogo Argentino and Fila Braziliero - which originate in South America and were originally used to hunt puma and other wild animals.
Anyone with information about yesterday's incident should call officers on 101.
