A seven-year-old girl is in hospital after being attacked by a dog in Glasgow.
The child was attacked on Maukinfauld Road in Parkhead, around 3pm on Wednesday.
Ten police vehicles were seen parked near a Lifestyle Express shop on nearby Rattray Street, which was cordoned off.
The cordon extended to a row of houses with crowds of neighbours standing around on the street with police.
An eyewitness told STV News the girl ran into a nearby building in a “state of panic” and was bleeding.
It was also said the dog continued to attempt to attack after the girl was safe within the building.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 3pm on Wednesday, October 30 we received a report of a dog having attacked a seven-year-old girl on Maukinfauld Road, Glasgow.
“She has been taken to hospital for treatment.
“Officers are in attendance and there is no risk to the wider public.
“Enquiries are ongoing.”
The Scottish Ambulance Service has been contacted for comment.
