Dog attack victim unveils bloody wounds after hounds maul 6 people in rampage
A dog attack victim has shown off the horror of injuries he suffered at the teeth of two loose dogs that attacked five other people in a bloody rampage.
Simon Edge was bitten four times in the bloody attack by the four-legged brute, with cuts on his lower back, arm and torso.
In the wake of the attack Simon staggered home to his house on Willow Gardens, Birmingham.
At home, photographs were taken of his injuries, including deep cuts to his arms as well as deep gash to his side, which required a visit to A&E.
Whilst there he met other people hurt by the dogs, Birmingham Live reported.

Mr Edge said: “They were strong, vicious dogs.
“I had just been to the dentist. It happened on Barford Road, around 50 yards from Willow Gardens.
"These two dogs came bounding towards me. I don't know what breed they were but they were big. One was a bluey grey, the other was chocolate brown, black. I sort of moved out the way a bit and they set about me.
