Police and Lake Macquarie Council are investigating a dog attack on an 8-year-old boy at Edgeworth.
Police say the boy was walking in a paddock and approached the back fence of a home in Lyons Close just after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
It's understood a dog, which police say was a dark tan Dobberman, approached the fence from the other side, before reaching through and biting the boy a number of times.
The boy was rushed to the John Hunter Hospital and treated for a suspected broken arm and bite marks.
Police have spoken to the dog's owner and are investigating the incident along with Rangers from Lake Macquarie Council.
