THE owner of a Staffordshire terrier will face charges after his dog attacked a father and son as they walked their muzzled greyhounds in a southwest Sydney park, police say.
Police have spoken to the 57-year-old Macquarie Fields resident and have taken his male terrier to Campbelltown pound.
"It's expected legal action will be taken against the ... man," police said.
The father and son were walking their greyhounds on leads near Simmos Beach in Macquarie Park early on Saturday when the terrier attacked.
The son, 39, tried to pull the dogs apart but injured his knee in the process.
NSW Police Inspector Tara Norton said metal from the greyhound's muzzle lodged in the man's knee.
He's expected to undergo surgery.
"He grabbed the attacking dog by its collar, however the dog was able to slip from the collar and run off," police said.
The father and son were very distressed, Inspector Tara Norton told ABC radio.
After the attack the father and son took their greyhounds to the vet.
One dog had to be put down and the other sustained minor injuries.
"Obviously no one likes to loose a pet and a much loved pet," she said.
"In addition to that we now have someone who is seeking treatment in hospital for a significant injury to his leg.
"So the whole situation has been terrible."
