Terrified family who were viciously attacked by dog suddenly told 'crime is closed' by police
A terrified family who were the victims of a vicious dog attack in north Manchester have claimed they were told by police the 'crime would be closed' just days after the incident was reported. Miro was walking his small dog Remy, a Pomeranian weighing just two kilos, near his home in Newton Heath when he was approached by the larger dog, thought to be a neighbour's, on Windsor Road on Sunday (June 1). He claims the other dog charged towards him before latching onto his arm and hand while repeatedly biting him and jumping up. The horror ordeal was then caught on CCTV cameras nearby and show Miro trying to desperately protect his pet while running away.

"It noticed us, looked at us and immediately ran over and began attacking my dog. "I grabbed my dog and it bit me on the other hand, then my back, and my arms, and was jumping up at me. It wouldn't let go." He claimed the dog then followed him to his home and then began attacking his partner, before he was able to pick the dog up and 'throw' it outside. Footage captured the moment the dog began the attack, with graphic images showing the extent of Miro's injuries. He and his partner were left needing stitches after sustaining deep bite marks to his arms, hands and back. They also had vaccinations and X-rays in hospital. Speaking of the moment he 'threw' the attacking dog outside of his home, Miro added: "It was the adrenaline, but it was terrifying. "I just wanted to protect my dog and my partner and try to keep us safe." The incident was reported to Greater Manchester Police who began an investigation. However, eight days later, he received a text from the force telling him the 'crime would be closed' as all investigative avenues had been exhausted. Yet the force has since told the M.E.N that an investigation is ongoing to determine which dog attacked him. "The information you provided was recorded and helped us to complete an initial investigation," the text said. "With no further avenues to investigate, the crime will now be closed. "GMP understands this might not have been the outcome you hoped for." Miro was left confused, claiming the dog is regularly off-leash in the area, and that nearby families have been left 'too scared' to let their children play out. "All we got was this text out of the blue, and later an email, telling us it had been closed," he said. "I can't comfortably say what the opinion of the police is because we haven't had an explanation. "All I know is there is one dog that looks like this on this street. What else can we do? The police have photos, videos and evidence. It's a difficult situation. We thought we were safe, but we don't feel it now. "My injuries are healing; I was at the hospital yesterday and was told it will still need to be dressed for a week. We are more worried about the psychological impact on us and those living on this street who are too scared to let their children play out. That's the impact here. We did everything we could." After contacting GMP, the force said the investigation is ongoing to try and gather evidence to determine which dog attacked him. --- Day in day out, our reporters in the Manchester Evening News newsroom bring you remarkable stories from all aspects of Mancunian life.

Omar Berrada confident Man Utd can deliver men's and women's titles by 2028
Berrada, who first told staff of his 'Project 150' vision in September last year, knows that represents a significant challenge with Ruben Amorim's side having just endured a worst top-flight season since relegation in 1973-74, while Chelsea continue to dominate the Women's Super League. However, he believes marking a major milestone in the club's history since it was founded as Newton Heath in 1878 with double title success is realistic. In an interview with the United We Stand fanzine to be published on Wednesday, Berrada said: 'It's establishing a series of targets within a timeframe so we can focus our efforts and energy on that goal. 'Can the team win the Premier League title by 2028? Of course. 'We've just finished 15th and it seems an impossible task. But why not aim for it? Why not do everything in our power?' Manchester United lost the Women's FA Cup final to Chelsea (Jonathan Brady/PA) While United finished third in the WSL, 16 points behind champions Chelsea who also beat them in the FA Cup final, the men languished just three places above the Premier League relegation zone and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham. Nevertheless, Berrada is sticking to his timetable. He said: 'I firmly believe we can do it. We have two or three summer windows to build a team to start competing to win the Premier League.'
