Girl attacked by dogs in Derry

A nine-year-old girl has been treated for minor injuries after she was attacked by two 'pitbull-type dogs' in Derry.

Danielle McAllister sustained injuries to her arms and legs during the attack, which occurred in the driveway of her home in the Waterside area yesterday afternoon.

Her mother told BBC Radio that neighbours had intervened to rescue the child.
