Girl, 8, suffers horrific bite wounds to her face in dog attack while playing outside gran's house
AN EIGHT-year-old girl suffered horrific bite wounds to her face after she was attack by a mystery dog while playing in her gran's garden. Animal-loving Kayla Watson was rushed to hospital after the "scruffy" dog ran up unprovoked and clamped its jaws around her cheek. 3 Her mum Jade O'Hara told how Kayla tried to "shoo" the animal away before it ferociously attacked her. Kayla was left covered in blood and screaming in terror during the school holiday attack. She was taken to Nevill Hall Hospital in Abergavenny for treatment. Jade said: "It all happened so quickly and as a mum it was a nightmare, I was so scared. "My daughter loves all pets, but is particularly obsessed with dogs, so it wasn't unusual for her to want to pet a dog, particularly as we have a really sweet baby of a dog at home that adores her. "She was just playing outside and then I saw this black and white scruffy type dog just come out of nowhere and start barking incessantly at her. "When she went to shoo it away, it latched itself onto her cheek and wouldn't let go. "I immediately ran over to them and tried to get the dog off her. I eventually had to kick the dog to make it get off. "It all happened so fast and I was so scared. We've never experienced anything like that with dogs before. I found Kayla on the floor, screaming, holding her cheek. "I originally thought it had got her eye or another part of her face, but when I managed to get Kayla to take her hand away, there was blood running all down her cheek and it was going everywhere. "There was even a toothmark of about half a centimetre." Jade has been trying to track down the dog's owner so it can be reported to police - but fears it may be a stray. She said: "I wanted to find it so we could report it to the police. "It's just horrible always having these what ifs when something like this happens, and I laid awake at night worried about Kayla and what could have happened. "Kayla loves dogs and is always so aware of asking owners to touch, so having this happen to her is just awful. "I keep thinking why was this dog around here, why did it come onto our property, why did it go for my daughter? "What if it had been a younger or smaller child? "We've both been left really traumatised and terrified over this. "I want to raise community awareness of the dog because we have no idea where it is now and don't want this to happen to anyone else." A spokesperson for Gwent Police said: "We received a report of a dog attack at around 3.20pm on Saturday 26 July. "It was reported that a medium sized black dog – potentially a stray or lost – bit an eight-year-old girl in Queens Square, Tredegar between 1.30pm and 1.45pm that day. "The girl was taken to hospital for treatment. "Enquiries are ongoing to identify the owner of the dog and anyone with information is asked to contact us quoting log reference 2500238460."

Moment crazy swordfight breaks out outside kebab shop before police rush in to arrest seven
This is the terrifying moment a sword fight broke out in a city centre street, before police arrested six men. Officers were called to Commercial Road, Newport, after a group of men were seen fighting in the street yesterday afternoon. Video shard to X showed the thugs with huge sword-like blades who were seen with bloodied faces and arms during the violence. The group were seen clashing into each other with the weapons as one fell to the ground and others attempted to interject. Gwent Police said six men, aged 25, 28, 33, 40, 42 and 52, and one 17-year-old boy, who are all from Newport, were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder. They remain in custody. Four of the men have attended hospital, and two were later discharged while two others remain in hospital receiving treatment. Around six police cars, all with lights flashing, were surrounding the area, along with at least two vans. More than a dozen officers rushed to the scene where they cordoned off the area and redirected residents to help continue their journeys. Video shard to X showed the thugs with huge sword-like blades who were seen with bloodied faces and arms during the violence Chief Superintendent John Davies said: 'We will not tolerate anyone who acts in such a violent way on our streets, or exposes members of our communities to such a horrific level of aggression when they go about their daily business. 'Violence in any form is completely unacceptable, and we have acted decisively in making these arrests. Anyone else who is found to be involved in this violent disorder will also be dealt with. 'This is now a live investigation and speculation, especially online and social media commentary, about the identities of those involved will not help us secure justice against those found to be responsible.' Detective Chief Inspector Neil Blyth, who is leading the investigation, said: 'We are still conducting inquiries to establish what has happened, so it is likely that you will see officers working in the area. 'While there is no cause for alarm, I would recommend taking the time to talk to them if you have any concerns or questions, but also if you have any details or information that could assist our inquires.' Police said Commercial Road has reopened but are appealing for any witnesses who were in the area between 3pm and 4pm on Friday to get in touch.
