A man has died after being savagely mauled by a pair of dogs on Thursday, the ambulance service has confirmed.
The scene of the attack outside St Peter's Primary Academy in Stonnall, West Midlands, was cordoned off by police.
A 30-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of being in charge of dogs dangerously out of control causing injury has been further arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, Staffordshire Police said.
Just before 3.15pm emergency services were called to man appearing to suffer life-threatening injuries from a dog attack.
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.”
Staffordshire Police said the two dogs involved in a fatal attack in Stonnall yesterday were believed to be XL bullys.
The force added that one of the dogs died after being restrained and the other died after an injection was given by a vet.
Superintendent Tracy Meir said: “I would like to offer my condolences to the loved ones of the man who tragically lost his life in this horrendous dog attack. We are continuing to support them at this incredibly difficult time.
“Detectives continue to investigate and we have taken statements, viewed CCTV and carried out house-to-house enquiries in the local area but are keen to speak to anyone with information.”
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced today that XL Bully dogs will be banned in the UK by the end of this year.
