A woman has been charged over the death of a 42-year-old man fatally injured by a dog in east London.
Officers were called to Shirley Road in Stratford at 4.53am on Wednesday, after reports that the man had been seriously wounded, Scotland Yard said.
The man was taken to hospital where he later died. His family has been informed and a postmortem will take place in due course, police said. The dog involved in the incident has been seized.
Leanne McDonnell, 32, of Stratford, has been charged with owning a dog dangerously out of control causing injury resulting in death.
She is also charged with failing in the duty, as a person responsible for an animal, to ensure its welfare and with having custody of a fighting dog.
McDonnell was also charged with three counts of owning a dog dangerously out of control causing no injury, in relation to a separate incident on 18 November.
She has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Barkingside magistrates court on Friday, the Metropolitan police said.
