Two dogs including an XL Bully have been seized after attacking a man in Fife.

Officers in riot gear responded to the incident at a property in Kingsdale Gardens, Kennoway, near Leven, at about 12:40 on Wednesday.

A 44-year-old man was injured and taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy for treatment.

Both animals were seized by police and are expected to be destroyed.

Restrictions on American XL bully-type dogs came into force in Scotland last February.

Owners of the breed, which have been linked to a series of attacks across the UK, risk a fine for failing to muzzle the animals and keep them on a lead in public.

The abandonment, breeding, exchanging or selling of the dogs has also been banned.
