Police have identified the man who was attacked in England by two American XL stalkers as Ian Price, reports Breaking News.
The 52-year-old died in hospital after sustaining serious injuries in Stonall, Staffordshire, at 3.15pm on Thursday.
Staffordshire Police said on Friday that a 30-year-old man from the Lichfield area was in custody after being arrested on suspicion of being dangerously out of control with a dog and murder.
Police said: “Our investigation continues at pace as we try to understand more about events leading up to this horrendous attack. Both dogs, thought to be XL bullies, are dead and tests are being carried out to determine their breed. Our deepest sympathies remain with the family and friends of Ian. We also understand the shock and upset felt within the village of Stonnall. We’ve got local officers in the area – please speak to them if you need to,” reports Breaking News.
Police said one dog died after being restrained and the other after being injected by a veterinarian.
As a result of the attack, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a ban on dog breeds by the end of the year.
Price’s death is one of several incidents involving dangerous dogs in the UK in recent days.
Stonewall residents described the attack as “awful”.
Primary Academy of the Church of St. Peter’s Church in England, which is near the site of the attack, said support was being provided to students and staff following the incident, reports Breaking News.
