Neighbours throw bricks in desperation at dog as it attacks 7-year-old girl The seven-year-old girl and a 22-year-old woman were both taken to hospital after they were bitten by a dog in Kirkby as it was reported neighbours threw bricks at the dog in a bid to stop the attack The air ambulance landing after the dog attack on Dulas Green, Kirkby (Image: Liverpool ECHO ) Residents rushed to the aid of a young girl as she was mauled by a dog in Kirkby, last night. Emergency services were summoned to Dulas Green shortly before 6pm on Thursday, May 29, following reports that two individuals had been bitten by a dog. A seven-year-old girl sustained bite injuries to her arm and leg, while a 22-year-old woman suffered puncture wounds to her leg, arm, and hand. Both victims were transported to hospital for treatment, though their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. The dog, believed to be a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, was seized by police. A local resident, who wished to remain anonymous, recounted to the ECHO how he was outside enjoying a drink after work when he heard two children 'screaming' and running down the road. He said one of the girls managed to escape up his path, but the other was attacked by the dog. He told the ECHO: "When we looked back, the dog had actually got one of the girl's and pulled her to the ground. I ran over then and my wife threw bricks at the dog, which you can see smashed on the ground, and they just bounced off the dog's head.", reports the Liverpool Echo. "I ran to get a brush and by that time it already had a few bites. By the time I got the brush and got it away it was over [the road]." For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here The man reported that another neighbour came out to assist and the dog reportedly attacked him and his daughters, with one of his daughters also suffering from bite wounds. He recounted, "[The neighbour] got the dog to the ground and he was holding it down. Then I ran in [the house] to get a cage and I assembled the cage and said 'we've got to get this dog in the cage or it's going to get out'. We then managed to get it in." Describing the canine, the man noted that the dog was "very powerful and had big jaws". He expressed his shock by saying, "You read about these things and think 'Jesus Christ' but don't expect it on your doorstep." This evening saw police cordon off Dulas Green after the ECHO team arrived at the scene. Forensic officers were also present later in the evening, taking photographs as part of gathering evidence. During the peak of the incident, an air ambulance made a landing on nearby greenery. A local mentioned seeing roughly 15 police vehicles, along with two ambulances responding to the emergency.

Liverpool create Florian Wirtz transfer timeline as Hugo Ekitike plan is made
The summer transfer window opens in two days and Liverpool are primed to make a fast start with their business. The Premier League champions recognise they have a job to do if they want to hand Arne Slot the tools to retain the silverware won this year, or possibly even add to it. Advertisement Among the targets is Florian Wirtz, Bayer Leverkusen's talented midfielder, with the ECHO understanding there is growing confidence over at Anfield that a club-record deal can be secured. His teammate, wing-back Jeremie Frimpong, has already undergone a medical and is close to becoming Liverpool's first signing of the summer, plus Bournemouth's full-back Milos Kerkez remains a player of interest. For the majority of the recent season there was also speculation of Slot adding a new striker to his ranks, especially as the immediate future of Darwin Nunez remains a hot topic on Merseyside.

Florian Wirtz timeline According to German publication BILD, Wirtz is 'about' to make the move from Leverkusen to Liverpool. As stated, the Reds have growing confidence. Here, it is also believed that Anfield chiefs are advancing quickly with the hope of having everything finalised in time for Wirtz ahead of the upcoming UEFA Nations League finals with the German national team. Germany play their semi-final with Portugal on Wednesday, June 4 - only five days from now... Hugo Ekitike talks Fabrizio Romano reports the state of play in a burgeoning summer battle between Liverpool and Chelsea over Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike. Advertisement The 22-year-old is another whose future has been intensely discussed during a 2024/25 season in which he scored 22 goals. Apparently, the latest is that both Premier League clubs have made initial contacts over a deal for Ekitike and will continue to do so into next week when the window is officially open. The Londoners are in pole position to wrap up a £30m deal with Ipswich Town for Liam Delap first and foremost, but still wish to add another striker to their ranks, while the Reds are presently busy themselves with Frimpong soon to be announced, talks for Wirtz progressing and Bournemouth's Kerkez of interest.

Police confirm ages of youngest and oldest victims injured in Liverpool parade crash
A child of just nine-years-old was among those injured in the terrifying incident on Monday when a driver crashed into crowds at the Liverpool FC victory parade. Merseyside Police have confirmed that the youngest victim, which took place on Water Street in the city centre, was only nine. The oldest person injured was 78. It is understood that all those hurt are British citizens. This new information emerged after police confirmed that the number of injured individuals had risen to 79. On Wednesday, the force stated that seven of these people remained in hospital, all in stable condition. A 53-yea-old man from West Derby in Liverpool, who was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving offences and driving while unfit through drugs, continues to be held in police custody, reports the Liverpool Echo. On Wednesday, the investigation team were granted additional time to continue questioning the suspect in police custody, a process that is ongoing today. The police have also addressed further queries about the roadblocks and diversions that were in place near the scene of the incident on Monday. This includes Dale Street, which the ECHO revealed was the route taken by the Ford Galaxy Car before it turned onto Water Street and crashed into the crowd. The police confirmed a partial closure of an area of Dale Street between North John Street and Exchange Street East. They stated that traffic was directed down the latter road to prevent any vehicles from entering Water Street. It was previously disclosed that the driver of the Ford Galaxy followed closely behind an ambulance, which was en route to Water Street to attend to a person suffering a suspected heart attack, before the driver ploughed into dozens of people. It's understood that the barrier used to prevent vehicles from accessing Water Street was a flatbed lorry and traffic cones. Questions remain about how the Galaxy managed to bypass potentially several roadblocks on its journey to Water Street. On Wednesday, the ECHO secured a variety of CCTV footage showing the car travelling along Dale Street from its starting point near the Queensway Tunnels before progressing along the bustling route towards Water Street. Business proprietors in Dale Street expressed their shock and surprise that the majority of Dale Street had stayed open when hundreds of thousands of people were pouring into the city centre, but council officials stated this was necessary as the street houses hotels and flats that need access for guests and residents. Officials also noted that Dale Street serves Victoria Street, which in turn serves the Mersey Tunnels.
