Two children have been mauled by Pit Bulls in a horror attack at a kids’ play park.
The two dogs are believed to have escaped from a nearby scrapyard.
They jumped over a wall into the children’s park and reportedly mauled a 12-year-old girl and boy, 11.

Distressing footage shows one dog biting the boy’s leg on the climbing frame as other children take cover on the roof.
The Pit Bull slides off the tube and dangles in the air while clinging onto the poor lad’s leg.
The animal then drags the boy off the climbing frame and onto the ground where it continues to maul his leg.
Several parents try to beat the animals away with sticks and rocks.

The boy manages to free his leg but the pit bull immediately clamps down on his arm.
The brave lad breaks free and uses his body weight to lie on top of the canine and prevent it from biting him.
Meanwhile, his leg appears to be mangled from the pit bull’s savage attack.
The shocking scenes were filmed at a playground in Vila Guilherme located north of São Paulo, Brazil, last Tuesday (Nov 12)
According to the police, the girl suffered bites to her head, chest, arms, and hands.
She was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment before being discharged shortly afterwards.
The boy was transferred to a different hospital due to the extent of his injuries.
The youngster is said to be in a stable condition, as reported by Need To Know.
A police spokesperson said: “Respective investigations are being carried out to take action and locate the owner of the dogs.”
The police are also trying to establish the conditions in which the animals were being kept in.
The police probe is ongoing.
