A woman has been left in a serious condition after three dogs savagely attacked her while running riot through an eastern Sydney suburb.
The woman suffered bites to the legs, buttocks and arms during the mauling on Joffre Crescent in Daceyville around 1pm today.
Officers from Botany Bay Local Area Command and NSW Ambulance paramedics attended the scene where the woman was treated before being rushed to Prince of Wales Hopsital in a serious condition.
Witnesses at the scene revealed others close by heard the woman's screams and came to her assistance and pulled her to safety behind the railings of Daceyville Public School, 9 News reports.
A man was treated for minor injuries at the scene after also being set on by the dogs.
CCTV footage from a nearby property reveals the terrifying moment the three dogs surrounded the man and leaped at him, who only managed to evade the animals when pulling himself onto the roof of his nearby van.
'If I didn't know how to run and jump up on my car, I'd be gone,' victim Ian revealed.
All three of the ferocious pets were eventually captured and were taken to St George Council pound.
'The dogs will be assessed, the nature of the dogs and then once we've determined that we will go ahead with whatever result we decide,' Sam Sliz of Bayside Council told 9 News.
'There is a possibility the dogs will be destroyed.'
The inquiries of the police and council rangers into the incident are ongoing.
