A man is in hospital with minor injuries after being attacked by two large dogs in the city’s south end early Thursday morning, police say.

According to Stratford police Sgt. Jeff McGregor, the man was attacked at around 6:30 a.m. near Lorne and Maple avenues. Police said the dogs – one described as a brown and black German or Belgian malinois, and the other as a Caucasian shepherd – had escaped from their owner’s yard.

Both dogs are now in the care of the Stratford Perth Humane Society and a police investigation into the attack is ongoing. No charges have been laid at this point.

More to come.
