A shocking video circulating online shows a woman being repeatedly attacked by three dogs in a park in south London.

The woman, in her mid-20s, was attacked on Tuesday (June 6) in Abbots Park.

Police have clarified that although some videos circulating online claim that the dog attack occurred in Stephney Green in east London, this location is incorrect.

The horrifying clip shows three dogs attacking a woman as she screams out in pain.

A man struggles to regain control of the dogs, who clamp around the woman's arm, pull her to the ground and snap at her face.

Officers and the London Ambulance Service were called to the scene at 12.15pm and a woman was taken to hospital to be treated for a significant injury to her right arm.

Her injuries are not considered life threatening.

The man in charge of the dogs had left with the animals before police arrived.

There are ongoing police enquiries to locate the dogs and their owner.
