An Uber Eats delivery man has been left unable to provide for his family after being mauled by customer's dog.

Md Mahmudul Islam was delivering a McDonald's meal to an address in Claymore, Sydney, just after 12.30am last Tuesday.

A woman was walking toward him to take the food but her dog raced ahead of her and jumped through the fence and attacked him as he was handing it over.

Mr Islam did not know what breed the dog was but said it was about the same size as a bulldog.

'The dog's attitude was not good, the lady told him to go inside, to go home but he didn't listen,' Mr Islam told 7News.

As he struggled to get the dog off him, two men came out of the home and managed to pull the dog away.

Mr Islam was left with 10 deep puncture wounds along his left hand and a large gash on his right leg.

He drove himself to Campbelltown Hospital where he was forced to spend the night before being referred to a hand specialist at Fairfield hospital.

Mr Islam, a father-of-three, was told he can't drive for two weeks, and being the sole breadwinner to his family, it has left them without any income.

Uber Eats have told him he will be compensated under insurance but he has since learned he will only receive $100-$150 for a five-day week.

Mr Islam currently clocks around 70 hours a week earning him around $1500.

An Uber Eats spokesperson told 7News: 'The vast majority of deliveries using the Uber Eats platform are safe and respectful ... unfortunately no form of transport or delivery is 100 per cent safe.'

As well as the financial difficulties, Mr Islam said he was also suffering from lasting psychological trauma.

'When I sit alone, sometimes I feel it, I go into shock still when I remember the dog biting me. When I remember that scene I feel terrified,' he told 7NEWS.com.au.

He has since reported the attack to Campbelltown Police and Campbelltown Council. Council confirmed they were investigating.

Mr Islam said there was a 'beware of the dog' sign but it was very small and not visible in the dark.
