WELSHTOWN – Nova Scotia RCMP say a youth has suffered life-threatening injuries after an attack by three dogs.
Police say the attack occurred Saturday when a youth was riding a bike past a property in the small community of Welshtown in southern Nova Scotia.
Mounties say three “large-breed” dogs attacked the young person, whose gender and age have not been released.
Officers and emergency health services responded, and police say the youth was airlifted to Halifax with life-threatening injuries.
Police did not immediately provide an update on the youth’s condition.
RCMP say the three dogs have been euthanized and the investigation is ongoing.
