- Police believe woman may have been hurt after falling out of the flat window
Photos show a shattered first-floor window where it’s believed a woman fell from as she tried to flee an ‘XL Bully type’ dog attack.
The woman and another man were both left with serious injuries following the incident, which started inside a home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire on Friday evening.
Police said they were called to the Hickling Court area of the town at around 11pm after reports that a ‘large dog’ had attacked people and was on the loose.
They later managed to seize the mutt, believed to be an ‘XL Bully type’ animal, from a nearby property and took it to a secure kennel.
Police said the two victims were rushed to hospital and their injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.

But they added that the woman may have been hurt after falling from a window in the flat where the attack began.
Photos taken today show a smashed window pane around 9ft (2.5m) from the ground in the stare well of a multi-resident property.
And locals, who wished to remain nameless, indicated this was the site of the terrifying attack.
A 38-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were arrested after the incident on suspicion of allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control.
Nottinghamshire Police previously appealed for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward as their investigations continue.
The force has been approached for further comment.
