An animal has been seized after three people including a teenage girl were injured in a dog attack at a house.

Cambridgeshire Police said dangerous dog officers were called to a property in Leverington, near Wisbech, just after 03:00 BST.

The force said a 43-year-old woman, a 14-year-old girl and a 28-year-old man were all being treated in hospital after the incident on Leafere Way.

It added that the injuries were not deemed to be life-threatening.

One of the patients suffered severe injuries and significant blood loss, an East of England Ambulance Service spokesman has confirmed.

The three injured people were taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn, Norfolk, for treatment.

"Police dog handlers and dangerous dog officers attended the incident and have seized the dog. No arrests have been made," a police statement said.
