Owner's dogs 'not on leads' when it mauled another dog walker

Five American Bulldogs being walked by their owner who lost an arm when he was mauled last month were not on leads when they seriously injured a dog walker, police in England have said.

Breeder Stephen Potts, 48, was arrested on suspicion of having dogs that were dangerously out of control after a 63-year-old was bitten on the head and leg in the Belmont area of Durham yesterday afternoon.
