Emergency services were called to Kittyhawk Drive in Chermside just after 6pm on Friday following reports a man had been attacked by dogs.
Two dogs were captured in Brisbane's north after a man was attacked in the early hours of Friday evening. Emergency services responded to Kittyhawk Drive in Chermside around 6pm following reports of a man being mugged by dogs. They discovered a 37-year-old man suffering from serious injuries to both arms. The dogs fled the scene, leaving the injured man.
The injured man was transported to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital where he was in a stable condition. Police swiftly located and apprehended one of the dogs nearby, with the help of a police helicopter. The remaining dog was found at large overnight, but was captured by police the following morning at an address in Wavell Heights.
Brisbane City Council confirmed that both dogs were registered at the same location and had not been previously classified as dangerous. Both dogs are now under council's care, and a decision on their future will be made as soon as possible. The council spokesperson expressed their sympathy for the victim of the horrifying dog attack.
