London Ambulance Service has issued an update after a woman and two kids were attacked by four dogs in Orpington.

The children, aged four and six, and a 30-year-old woman were found injured in Mickleham Lane shortly before 9am on October 5. 

An ambulance crew, an advanced paramedic, an incident response officer and an air ambulance from London Ambulance Service attended. 

The three victims were taken to hospital where their conditions were assessed as non life threatening. 

Officers managed to bring the dogs under control and take them to police kennels as investigations continue. 

A woman has been arrested on suspicion of having dogs dangerously out of control and is currently in police custody.

The News Shopper has contacted the Metropolitan Police for an update.

McArthur Okorocha, a man who lives in Mickleham Lane, revealed the moment he saw the attack.

Okorocha said he rushed over across the road to intervene after hearing screaming and shouting from his neighbours.

He told the Mirror: "I heard the mum shouting to the girl to "get out" and "run out".

"Then I saw the dogs biting the girl, so I had to rush over there and separate the girl from the dog when I noticed there was another little boy, who the dogs were also biting.

"So, I grabbed the first girl and I held her and I tried to grab the second boy, then the dogs tried to attack me so I had to separate the little girl [from the dogs] and call 999.

"I got neighbours to call the police."

McArthur said he wasn't scared as his main goal was to get the children out of the house. 

He added: "The goal was just to get the kids out of there, that was the main goal.

"I felt scared for the other little boy because I couldn't get to him in time and I wanted to make sure he was ok, so I kept popping and seeing if the kid got separated because I already had the girl in [the house] and I wanted to get her brother because she was shouting for her sibling."

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 8.49am on Saturday (5 October) to reports of an incident in Mickleham Lane, Orpington.

“We sent a number of resources to the scene including ambulance crews, an advanced paramedic and an incident response officer.

“We also dispatched London’s Air Ambulance.

“We treated one adult and two children at the scene and took them all to a major trauma centre by road.”
