A woman has needed plastic surgery on her nose after being attacked by two dogs last night in Metford.
The 40-year-old woman was walking her own dog at 7 o'clock Monday night along Chelmsford Drive when she set upon by the two dogs.
A 38-year-old man along with two girls, aged nine and 16 ran to the aid of the woman and were also mauled.
The man sustained a laceration to his hand and the girls were left with abrasions.
Following this, another 24-year-old man came to assist and was also bitten, receiving lacerations to his arm and leg.
Paramedics attended the scene and treated those involved. The 40-year-old woman who sustained significant injuries to her nose was taken to John Hunter Hospital for surgery.
The dogs were seized by council rangers soon after in a local park and are currently being held by Maitland City Council.
