Middlesex OPP are warning residents to be careful after they learned a person sustained serious injuries from an attack by dogs.
Around 3:45 a.m. Saturday, OPP and Middlesex-London paramedics were called to an address on Nicholas Road in Oneida Nation of the Thames First Nation (ONTFN) for the report of a dog attack.
A 32-year-old individual from ONTFN was transported to hospital with serious injuries.

- Never approach it
- Never turn your back and run
- Stand tall, make lots of noise and back away from it slowly
- If it poses an imminent threat to the public, call 9-1-1
