STV NewsA dog has been put down and two people have been charged after a schoolgirl was attacked in Glasgow on Wednesday.
The incident took place on Maukinfauld Road in Parkhead, at around 3pm on October 30.
An eyewitness told STV News the girl ran into a nearby building in a “state of panic” and was bleeding.
It was also said the dog continued to attempt to attack after the girl was safe within the building.
Ten police vehicles were seen near a Lifestyle Express shop on nearby Rattray Street, which was cordoned off.

Officers have charged a 52-year-old man and a 77-year-old woman in connection with the alleged dog attack.
The animal involved has been euthanised, police said.
