A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: "We were called to Baslow Road, Denton, at around 5:50pm today to reports that several people had been attacked by a dog.
"Three people, a one-year-old child and two adults, are in hospital being treated for their injuries."
An air ambulance helicopter landed on the nearby green earlier this evening following the incident.
Rapid response vehicles from the North West Air Ambulance were also in attendance.
The GMP dog unit vehicles have now left the scene and the cordon has now been reduced.
Specialist dog handlers were seen leading a large dog into a police van following the reported attack.
The conditions of those involved have not yet been disclosed by police but a large emergency services presence remains at the scene.
Children and families could be seen watching from behind the cordon while police carried out their work.
The incident comes after a four-year-old boy was recently rushed to hospital after being mauled by a dog on the street in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire.
He suffered serious injuries to his leg and face and a Pocket Bully and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier type dog were seized by cops.
And just a few weeks ago, two toddlers were left seriously injured after being attacked by a dog near Liverpool.
The two-year-old girl and three-year-old boy were injured inside a property in Prescot, Merseyside.
Both were taken to hospital and the dog was seized.

Daniels crime clan set aside £500k war chest amid blame fears over Mafia-style executions of two of their enemies
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Daniels crime clan have amassed a £500,000 war chest amid fears they will be wrongly blamed for the Mafia-style executions of two of their enemies, sources said last night. Leaders of the under-siege crew have set aside the huge cash pot to deal with potential revenge attacks following the murders of Lyons gang kingpins Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr in Spain. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan were shot dead at a bar in Spain Credit: Les Gallagher - The Sun Glasgow 6 A hitman stormed Monaghans and shot the pair at point-blank range Credit: Solarpix Details of the stash emerged as police revealed they are not linking the double shooting in Fuengirola with the violent gang war raging here — and now believe the hit was plotted outwith Scotland. But Daniel hoods fear they will still be blamed by Lyons allies, who include powerful global crime syndicate, the Kinahan cartel. An underworld source said: 'The Daniel family are insisting the murders in Spain have nothing to do with them. 'But they are worried they'll get blamed because of their history with the Lyons. 'They have been under siege for months and some will assume this double murder is their revenge. 'But Monaghan's enemies go way beyond the Daniels clan. 'He's been operating at a high level with associates across Europe and beyond including the Irish Kinahan cartel. 'These killings have the look of something much bigger than the ongoing violence in Scotland.' We told how a hitman stormed packed Monaghans bar on Saturday night before assassinating Lyons, 46, and pub owner Monaghan, 43, at point-blank range in front of terrified tourists and footie fans who had just watched the Champions League final. It followed months of firebombings, attacks and threats in Glasgow and Edinburgh against the Daniels and allies of jailed cocaine boss Mark Richardson. The FULL story of Scotland's biggest gangster Jamie 'The Iceman' Stevenson Coming This Sunday Graphic CCTV footage from inside the pub showed Monaghan crawling away with blood soaking through his T-shirt while being pursued by the shooter, who had seconds earlier killed Lyons. The deadly ambush has left Glasgow mob boss Steven Lyons, 44, grief-stricken over the loss of his brother and best friend. Meanwhile, top Daniel figures including Robert Daniel, 50, and Francis 'Fraggle' Green, 42, have been rallying associates such as Zander Sutherland, the son of late kingpin Jamie Daniel. They had already moved to protect themselves after a disabled boy and a 72-year-old woman were attacked amid the escalating feud. Let-off as hoods are 'no threat' in Dubai Exclusive by Graham Mann HOODS like Ross McGill are left free to enjoy luxury lifestyles in Dubai as they are not deemed a threat to locals, legal experts have revealed. Radha Stirling — who helps Brits caged in the UAE bolthole — explained how UK justice chiefs run into problems when seeking suspects' extradition. Ms Stirling, founder of Detained in Dubai, said: 'British courts have serious human rights concerns, particularly regarding torture, arbitrary detention and lack of due process. 'If the UK were to submit a request for someone like Ross McGill, it would likely be met with pressure to begin extraditing Emirati targets in return. 'This would pose a direct risk to British citizens, especially those accused of politically motivated or financially based offences. 'This means individuals can live quite comfortably in Dubai even when wanted for serious crimes. 'Unless there is a high political incentive, the UAE often chooses inaction — especially when individuals are seen as non-threatening to local interests.' An insider said: 'Robert had been seen visiting family houses in the last few weeks and Francis 'Fraggle' Green has also visited Zander in prison. 'They've been telling all family members to put in £100,000 each for a war chest. 'They have reached out to old contacts down south and abroad to help finish this. "They have already got £500,000 sitting waiting.' We revealed how the Daniels and their associates have been targeted by hoods linked to Dubai-based ex-Rangers ultra Ross McGill, 31, nicknamed Miami. 6 Daniels and their associates have been targeted by hoods linked to Dubai-based former Rangers ultra Ross McGill 6 Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel was one of the targets during the wave of attacks Credit: Spindrift The former Union Bears leader is said to be out for revenge after being paid for £500,000 of cocaine with fake banknotes. A sinister group called Tamo Junto is said to be behind a wave of attacks orchestrated by McGill. Machete thugs raided a garage run by Robert Daniel in East Kilbride while other businesses linked to Fraggle and Mark Richardson, 38, have been torched. Others targeted included Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel, 45, his mum and family matriarch Annette Daniel, 63, her brother Norman, 72, and Fraggle's sister Kelly 'Bo' Green. Following the double hit on the Costa del Sol, claims emerged that Steven Lyons had urged McGill to halt the carnage via intermediaries but was rebuffed. A source claimed: 'Steven Lyons had made it clear he wanted the war to end but McGill is not backing down. 'He made it clear he wanted things to come to an end because they knew something was coming — but this is beyond anything anyone imagined. McGill just wants to make a name for himself and wasn't for listening.' Insiders say the Lyons have been left at the lowest ebb since the murder of Steven's cousin Michael Lyons in 2006. The 21-year-old died when Daniels hitmen Raymond Anderson and James McDonald opened fire at Applerow Motors in Glasgow's Lambhill area. Steven Lyons was shot but survived before he left the country and set up home in Spain. He now flits between Malaga and Dubai. Following the double killing, an insider said: 'Steven is absolutely heartbroken at the loss of his brother and his best pal. 6 Claims emerged Steven Lyons urged McGill to halt the carnage via intermediaries but they were rebuffed Credit: Andrew Barr - The Sun Glasgow 6 Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan were killed at an Irish bar in Fuengirola Credit: Getty 'There is no way he and his dad Eddie will stand for this. 'This is worse than the Lambhill shooting and everyone is absolutely stunned that they've taken it this far. "To take out Monaghan and Eddie Lyons is to take out two of the three biggest figures in the Lyons gang. 'Eddie is more than just an associate of the Lyons. He is blood.' It is understood a senior member of the Lyons clan travelled to Spain to identify the bodies but the mum of Eddie Jnr's kids stayed in Glasgow. We told how the pair had watched PSG defeat Inter Milan 5-0 when the assassin shot Lyons on the pub terrace then chased Monaghan. In a statement, Police Scotland insisted there was 'no intelligence' linking the murders to the drugs feud here, which is being investigated via their Operation Portaledge. Mayor in hols spot crime call By Graham Mann THE mayor of the Spanish town where Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr were executed last night demanded a crackdown on the bloodshed. Ana Mula condemned the shooting of the Scots pair in Monaghans bar, Fuengirola, on Saturday night. It was just the latest in a string of deadly attacks linked to organised crime in the Costa del Sol. The town's chief said: 'We live in a world and at a time where crime knows no borders. 'We're seeing developments that, as they spread, inevitably affect us.' Ms Mula went on to demand more cops on the streets. She added: 'We need much greater involvement from the state. I intend to be relentless in demanding action on this. 'It's a top priority for our community.' The force said: 'The investigation into the fatal shootings in Fuengirola is being carried out by Spanish police. Police Scotland is supporting where requested. We have no officers deployed within Spain. 'There is currently no intelligence to suggest the deaths of these two men in Spain are linked to the recent criminal attacks in Scotland." The Foreign Office said: 'We are supporting families of two British men who died in Fuengirola.' Monaghan was cleared over the 2010 gun murder of Daniel enforcer Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll outside Asda in Robroyston, Glasgow.

Bomb squad officers evacuate street after man pulls pin on hand grenade in Worcester
Army officers sealed off the road for three hours in Northwick before removing the device DEVICE SCARE Bomb squad officers evacuate street after man pulls pin on hand grenade in Worcester Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BOMB squad officers evacuated a street after a man pulled the pin of a hand grenade. He was showing his friends the Soviet device when it started making noises. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up So he tossed it in the back of his garden and raised the alarm. Army officers sealed off the road for three hours in Northwick, Worcester, on Sunday before removing the dodgy device. The grenade's owner said: "I pulled the pin and it started making noises. "I noticed something was wrong as soon as I released the safety pin and the spoon sprung off it immediately. "It made some sort of reaction similar to when a fire work fuse is ignited. It was a spilt second, I immediately threw this at the rear of the garden and evacuated the property and called the police. "I was told to be minimum 100 meters away and try to alert neighbours. Police arrived within several minutes. "Around five police cars turned up and about 30 minutes after the RLC bomb squad arrived to investigate. "He firstly x-rayed the grenade to see if it still had its explosive content left. "He's sure it was decommissioned but not certain, so he put it inside what looked to be a heavy-duty explosives box and told me he is going to dispose of it back at base. "This was brought last year August at Malvern antiques fair. Bomb Disposal Team Responds to Manchester Supermarket Incident "A few people were worried in the street. The area was locked for about three to four hours." The RG-42 World War Two device, which he got for £30 at an antiques fair in Malvern last year, was found to be safe. West Mercia Police said: 'The Explosive Ordnance Disposal team X-rayed the grenade and found it was empty so there was no need for a controlled explosion.'
