Officers were called to the park off Othello Road in Low Hill in Wolverhampton on Wednesday afternoon at 3.10pm.

They put a perimeter around the animals before a specialist dogs unit arrived at 4.55pm.

A spokesman said: "The two dogs have been seized and enquiries are on-going to trace the owners."

Low Hill police unit tweeted: "An irresponsible dog owner thought it’d be a good idea to abandon two aggressive dogs off their leads in a children’s park in Othello Road this afternoon.

"Our quick thinking PCSOs secured the perimeter until help could arrive from West Midlands Police Dog Unit to safely detain the dogs."
