A man has been charged after an 84-year-old man was attacked by a suspected XL bully dog and left critically injured.
The victim was “savagely attacked” after being chased into a garden in Bardsley Avenue in Warrington, on Monday evening, Cheshire Police said.
Sean Garner, 30, from Liverpool, has been charged with being the owner of a dangerously out of control dog, causing serious injury and possession of a fighting dog.
He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Chester Magistrates’ Court.
A 29-year-old woman who was arrested as part of the investigation was previously released on conditional bail.
The victim remains in hospital after suffering “life-changing” injuries, the force said.
