Woman left with serious hand injury after Boronia dog attack A WOMAN was mauled by a pack of dogs that had been chasing a young girl in the eastern suburbs this morning. The woman, aged in her 40s, is recovering from a serious hand injury at Angliss Hospital after being attacked by three dogs, believed to be Staffordshire Bull Terriers, in Boronia. Victoria Police spokesman Senior Constable Marty Beveridge said a girl was initially chased by the dogs before the woman was attacked. He said emergency services were called to Boronia Rd, near Langwith Ave, around 9am. Shortly after the attack, one of the dogs made its way to a nearby vet and was sedated by staff. A second dog was located by police on Boronia Rd, near Paton Cres, at 10.15am. The third was located 20 minutes later, also in Boronia Rd, and both dogs were taken to the Boronia Vet. Sen-Constable Beveridge said the dogs had been handed over to the local ranger and it was now a matter for Knox City Council. The girl was believed to be uninjured and there was no indication the woman and girl were related, he said.
