A woman has been savagely mauled by a dog, before police officers were forced to use tasers to subdue the ‘aggressive’ animal.
The woman in her thirties suffered ‘multiple bites’ to her chest and limbs in the terrifying attack at a property on Warburton Street in Condell Park in south-west Sydney shortly before 1pm on Tuesday.
She was taken to Liverpool Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
The animal, which is believed to be an American Pit Bull Terrier, was removed from the scene by dog handlers. It has since been euthanised.
Distressing footage from the scene showed two officers standing behind a wall as onlookers shouted at them to take action.

‘It needs to stop now, you’ve got to get her out of there, mate,’ yelled one tradie who was watching from behind a fence.
Seconds later, a shot was heard as one of the officers fired a taser. The animal then started barking as someone shouted: ‘Where’s the ambulance?’
Emergency crews arrived a short time later.
A spokesperson for NSW Ambulance said ‘multiple crews attended the scene’.
‘They assessed and treated a woman in her thirties for multiple dog bites to her chest and limbs,’ the spokesperson said.
‘She was then transported to Liverpool Hospital in a stable condition.’
