Rotherham dog attack thug jailed

A PET owner who left a man needing surgery after setting his dog on him has been jailed for 33 months.

Tyrone Donald Metcalfe (25) from Sunnyside, was locked up at Sheffield Crown Court for wounding in relation to the attack in Kilnhurst last August.

He would have received a longer sentence but had spent four-and-a-half months on remand.

Metcalfe’s 39-year-old victim was seriously injured when he was attacked by a gang who set a dog—similar to a Staffordshire or pitbull terrier—on him.

The incident happened at Kilnhurst Business Park off Glasshouse Lane.
