When he arrived in Ericsson Close, Daventry, after police were called on 8 July last year, PC O’Brien was told a dog had attacked a young girl who had sustained serious head injuries.

It had also bitten a woman who had suffered a serious neck injury.

The child had been rescued by members of the public, but the injured woman was still in the garden with the dog.

PC O’Brien armed himself with a dog pole and a shield and climbed over the fence to put himself between the woman and the dog.

He then secured the dog so the woman could receive emergency first aid.

Both victims were taken to hospital with serious injuries which turned out not to be life-changing.
