Two children and a woman are in hospital following an attack by four "dangerously out of control" dogs.

The incident occurred in St Paul's Cray, Orpington, in south-east London, just before 9am on Friday, according to the Metropolitan Police.

A four-year-old and a six-year-old, along with a 30-year-old woman, were found with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said a woman has been arrested on suspicion of having dogs dangerously out of control.

Superintendent Mitch Carr said: “I know this incident will have caused a lot of public concern, especially due to the young age of the children injured.

“The dogs have also been taken to police kennels while the investigation is ongoing.

“Extra officers will be in the area over the next few days to provide community reassurance.”

The London Ambulance Service told the BBC it sent crews including an advanced paramedic, an incident response officer and an air ambulance.

A spokesman said the woman and two children were treated at the scene and taken to a major trauma centre by road.
