Mr Khan told the : "He's just a kid. They [owners] were in the park at the café. They had left the dog just next to it on the opposite side, but it didn't seem to be on a leash or tied to anything.

"My brother is scared of dogs. It started barking at him as he walked past, so he started running and then slipped. The dog ran over and started attacking him and wouldn't let go. "The owner came and as soon as it let go of him, he ran away. The owners didn't help or call the ambulance or anything, they just ran off. They didn't even ask if he was okay.

"He went straight to hospital and my cousin called the police. He had a hole in his arm that was bleeding which the paramedics have plastered up. He's OK now but was very shaken up and shocked. Luckily it was just his arm and not his neck - it could've been so much more horrendous. It could have killed him. What else can you do in that situation? It's shocking. They just ran away like they didn't care.

Photos showed a hole in his brother's blood-covered arm, with deep teeth marks also seen imprinted in his skin following the attack. Greater Police said enquiries are ongoing to trace the dog and its owners.
