GoogleTwo men have been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm after a man was assaulted and then seriously injured by a dog in a city centre street fight.
West Yorkshire Police said officers were called just before 20:30 GMT, to reports of a number of men fighting in New York Street, Leeds.
During the brawl, a man in his 30s had been attacked by a dog and was taken to hospital with a potentially life-changing leg injury, police said.
Both men remain in custody and officers said they believed it had been an “isolated incident”.
Det Insp Mark Hibbert said: “I understand that this incident happened in a busy part of the city centre and may cause some concern in the local area.
“I want to reassure people that this was an isolated incident and officers acted swiftly to seize the dog and detain the suspects.”
He appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident or had any footage of what happened to get in touch with the force.
