Seven-year-old was bitten on the leg and nose

A Cricklewood woman has been charged after a seven-year-old was attacked by her dog as he played in a garden next door.

Mary Khan, of Gardiner Avenue, is accused of allowing a dog dangerously out of control to enter a private place after the boy was bitten on March 30 this year.

The 61-year-old is claimed to have left her front door open which allowed her pet to enter the front garden next door and bite the boy on his leg and nose.

Khan was charged this month and will appear before Hendon Magistrates Court on June 3.

The dog has been seized.
