A teacher and two students were injured yesterday after being bitten by a Bull Mastiff while on a school excursion at Stockton.
About 12pm, students from San Clemente were taking part in a money raising walkathon on Corroba Oval, near Fullerton Street when two dogs ran onto the field.
A Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Bull Mastiff chased the children as they played with a ball before a 15-year-old boy was allegedly bitten on the thigh by the Bull Mastiff.
The dog then allegedly attacked a 14-year-old girl jumping on her chest and biting her on the leg.
A female teacher went to the aid of the children and shielded them from the dogs when she was also allegedly bitten on the leg. She kicked out at the dog and all the children were removed from the oval.
Newcastle City Police and Council Rangers attended the scene and officers were forced to use capsicum spray to defend themselves from attack by the Bull Mastiff.
The teacher and students were treated at the scene.
Both dogs were subsequently captured and taken into the care of Council Rangers.
Investigations are continuing to identify the owners of the dogs.
As a result, The Catholic Schools Office will investigate.
“all the children were removed from the oval” Um, no. We all sat right at the edge of the oval and watched the dogs get captured.
“officers were forced to use capsicum spray to defend themselves from attack by the Bull Mastiff” Hahah they were not forced to use the spray, the dogs were calm, and they used it just because they could. It wasn’t necessary at all. Bulls-hit….
