Woman savaged by two dogs

A woman was in Hawkes Bay Hospital last night after being attacked by two dogs.

Acting Sergeant Andrew Clinton said the 23-year-old woman suffered puncture wounds to her legs when the dogs attacked as she was walking in Flaxmere, Hastings.

Mr Clinton said several residents managed to scare the dogs away.

Both dogs, described as mongrels, were later found by police and seized by animal control officers.
