A man has been left seriously injured after a dog attack on four people north of Brisbane.

Emergency services rushed to Grothe Street in Morayfield, 50km north of Brisbane, at 11.30am on Thursday after the attack was reported.

They arrived to find a 31-year-old man suffering “significant wounds” to his right forearm, according to Queensland Ambulance operations supervisor Joanne Southwell.

He was taken to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in a stable condition.

“Three other patients all received minor injuries … and were transported to the Caboolture Hospital,” Ms Southwell said.

The 41-year-old woman, a 21-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man were treated for puncture wounds and scratches sustained in the attack.

The dog has now been seized by Morton Bay Council officials and an investigation is under way.

“Council received a report from Queensland Ambulance Service this morning about a dog attack incident in Morayfield and is currently investigating,” the spokesperson said.

“Our thoughts go out to those who have been impacted.

“The dog is not known to council.

“The animal … will be held at the pound subject to further investigation.”
