BANCROFT, ONTARIO – Police say a child had to be airlifted to hospital after being attacked by what they call a “canine-type” animal in Bancroft, Ont.

Ontario Provincial Police say the unprovoked attack took place on Tuesday afternoon.

They say an aggressive canine-type animal attacked the child on Bradshaw Road in the town of Bancroft.

Police say the child was airlifted to hospital with non-life-threating injuries.

They describe the animal as black and grey, and similar to a German shepherd or husky dog.

Anyone in the area is asked to be cautious and to report any sightings of the animal to police.
