A man has died after a dog attack in the West Midlands.

The man was found fighting for his life with “multiple life-threatening injuries” in Main Street, Stonnall in the market town of Walsall.

He was bitten by two dogs on the residential street, which is next to a primary school. The breed of the dogs has not yet been confirmed.

Multiple paramedics and the air ambulance were called to the scene at 3.12pm on Thursday and he died in hospital. 

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Upon arrival we found a man who had sustained multiple life-threatening injuries and was in a critical condition.

“Ambulance staff administered advanced life support and advanced trauma care to him at the scene.

“Treatment continued en route to Queen Elizabeth Hospital where he was conveyed by land ambulance for further treatment. Unfortunately, after arrival at hospital, despite the best efforts it became clear that nothing more could be done to save him, he was confirmed deceased.”

One ambulance, two paramedic officers, a MERIT trauma doctor and critical care paramedic and the Midland Air Ambulance from Cosford were sent to the scene.

The Telegraph has contacted Staffordshire Police, who also attended, for more information.
