Emergency services were called to a house in the area, to reports that a child had been bitten by a dog and that a woman had also suffered injuries.
A grandmother became a hero when she fought off ‘5 dogs’ to save the toddler who was being mauled in face and body.
Paramedics attended and found the 2-year-old girl suffered serious injuries to her head and body.
The toddler was initially treated at the scene and was then taken by air ambulance to Alder Hey Children’s’ Hospital where she remains.
The girl’s condition is described as serious, but not life-threatening.
