A grandmother-of-two suffered horrific injuries when she was attacked by two dogs on a Wolverhampton street.

Taro Kaur remains in hospital after being mauled by a rottweiler and a bull mastiff just outside the city centre. The two dogs have now been seized by police after breaking Mrs Kaur’s wrist and tearing chunks of flesh from her arms.

Her devastated family supported by councillors today called for tighter laws following the attack in Waterloo Road at 9.20am on November 6.

Daughter Reena Bassi, a 32-year-old full-time mother from Bradmore, said her mother was still in shock. “The dogs were not on a lead and there was no owner to be seen,” said Miss Bassi. “My mum loves dogs and wouldn’t hurt a fly but she is in complete shock now and traumatised. She is really emotional and keeps reliving what happened.

“The bull mastiff dragged her to the floor while she was carrying her shopping bags. They just tore chunks from her. She has a fractured wrist, bite marks all over and now her arm is badly infected. These dogs should have been on a lead. Our whole family is devastated.”

West Midlands Police said investigations were continuing into the attack. Spokesman Lee Page said: “We were called to reports that a woman was on the floor after being attacked by two dogs.

“She suffered three possible breaks to her arm and severe puncture wounds and superficial puncture wounds to her left arm. The two dogs were uncontrolled.

“We reined them in and took them to police premises. They are a rottweiler and a bull mastiff and are still in our custody. The owner of the dogs attended a voluntary interview.”

St Peter’s ward councillor Zahid Shah said the community was in shock and demanded tougher regulations.

Miss Bassi said the family was now rallying around her mother, who lives in the city centre.

“The coat she was wearing was completely torn to shreds and she was just lying on the floor screaming ‘Help, help’,” said Miss Bassi. “When my brother rang to tell me what happened, I could barely make out what he was saying he was so distressed.”
