A lady remains in medical facility after the “partial amputation” of her arm throughout a dog attack in the Northern Territory early today.
Key points:
- The dark brown dog was last seen at the crossway of Lucy Street and Riverbank Drive in Katherine South
- Police are examining the event and have actually prompted locals to be watchful
- The female is anticipated to be flown to Royal Darwin Hospital today
St John Ambulance NT operations supervisor Craig Garraway informed ABC Radio Darwin that emergency situation services looked out to the attack in Katherine South at about 4:30am.
“My understanding – and it’s only simply occurred just recently – is that there was a partial amputation to that lady’s arm,” Mr Garraway said.
The female was hurried to Katherine Hospital with severe injuries.
Mr Garraway said she would likely be flown to Royal Darwin Hospital later on today by means of CareFlight.
The dog was last seen at the crossway of Lucy Street and Riverbank Drive and cops are prompting locals to work out care.
“A dark brown dog without any collar has actually assaulted a lady, triggering injuries,” NT Police said in a Facebook post.
