Dog attacks boy, 4, at Paradise, in Adelaide’s northeast

A 4 year-old boy has been injured in a dog attack in the north eastern suburbs.

A young boy has been hurt in a suspected dog attack – the second in Adelaide in a matter of hours.

Emergency services were called to a property at Paradise, in the northeastern suburbs, just after 3pm on Tuesday.

A four year-old boy is reported to have been injured.

He was not taken to hospital.

A neighbour, who asked to remain anonymous, has said he didn’t hear a child yelling but he is aware of two jack russells on the property.

No further details were immediately known.

It is the second reported dog attack in Adelaide on Tuesday.

A volunteer has been rushed to Flinders Medical Centre after being bitten by a dog at the RSPCA’s Lonsdale shelter.
