A TODDLER was rushed to hospital after being attacked by an XL Bully.
The 20-month-old was mauled by the vicious beast in Catherine Grove, Greenwich, London, at 10.10am yesterday.
The child was taken to hospital where their injuries were assessed as not life-threatening.
The dog, which cops say was an XL Bully, and its owner were located by officers.
A police spokesperson said: "A man has been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control.
"The dog has been seized and will be taken to kennels."
It comes as Rishi Sunak confirmed XL Bully dogs will be banned by the end of the year to stop violent attacks.
The move came amid a series of attacks by the breed – including on children – and after one man was killed on September 14.
Ian Price, 52, died while reportedly protecting his elderly mum from one of the vicious dogs in Stonall, Staffordshire.
News of the ban – which will be under the Dangerous Dogs Act – has sparked debate, with some agreeing the powerful dogs should be outlawed while others insist it is bad owners to blame and not the animals.
