Police were called just after 5pm on Sunday, 7 May, to a woman being attacked by a dog in Commercial Road, E14.
Officers attended the location where the aggressive behaviour of two dogs was of considerable concern and posed a significant threat to them.

A man was arrested in connection with the incident for having a dog dangerously out of control and assault offences. He has been taken into police custody. A Taser was discharged by police.

No person was taken to hospital. Both dogs were destroyed by police at the scene.
