Lad, 9, bitten by a bulldog

A STAFFORDSHIRE bulldog called Schizo attacked a boy of nine in the street, a court heard.

The dog bit the lad below the ribs while being walked by owner Reece Bushell, 46, in Hanworth, West London, in April.

Prosecutor Fiona Willis said: “The boy was scared.”

Bushell, of Feltham, admitted being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury.

Willesden magistrates adjourned the case to see if Schizo can be muzzled to avoid him being put down.
