A man was brutally attacked by an 'XL Bully' dog on a train platform in a horrifying incident caught on camera.
The shocking footage, believed to have been filmed at London's Stratford station, shows the man falling near the edge of the platform as a DLR train approaches and he's set upon by the large dog. The video, which was filmed in the evening of December 10, shows a woman struggling to control two massive dogs, that she reportedly owns.
One man tried to help her by offering to hold one of the dogs while she leashed the other. But then, the dog turned on him, jumping and snapping at him as he struggled to keep it under control.

Further down the platform, the woman clung onto the other dog's harness as it strained against her, looking towards where the other dog was. The woman repeatedly shouted "give me the dog" and eventually moved down the platform as the man fell over and the first dog lunged at him.
The man can be seen desperately scrambling backwards as the dog appears to lunge at him again, before the woman, still clinging onto the large dog, grabs it, as a train rolls into the platform.
Onlookers watched in shock as a man was attacked by two dogs, with some trying to distance themselves from the scene. The man had reportedly tried to help a woman who was struggling to control the dogs.
The woman eventually managed to get control of the dogs, allowing the man to escape. It's reported that the dogs bit the man several times, causing feathers from his jacket to scatter across the platform.
The video of the incident has since begin circulating on social media with people slamming the owner for not having control of her pets. One user said: "This is why XL bully's are getting banned cause people can't control their dogs."
