Three dogs said by police to have been 'out of control' have been seized after a man and woman aged in their 20s were bitten inside a house.

Both were taken to hospital earlier on Tuesday, but their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, said police. A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said the dogs were taken away as a 'safety precaution' after they were 'deemed to be out of control at the scene'.

No further information has been provided. Video footage from the scene showed one grey-coloured dog being led out and into a van by a police officer as a second officer with a shield backs him up.

Emergency services including police and paramedics were called to Manchester Road in Heywood, near Rochdale, at 9.20am on Tuesday morning.
