A woman claims she was knocked to the ground and attacked by two dogs while walking with her young son at a Great Yarmouth holiday park.
Anne-Marie Daniels, from Cambridge, visited the Cherry Tree Holiday Park in Burgh Castle with her two sons and her parents earlier this month.
The 46-year-old said the trip was "lovely" until two dogs belonging to another visitor turned on her and her seven-year-old on the evening of August 7.
"We were about a five-minute walk away from our caravan when two dogs behind us started pelting towards my son," she recalled.
"I started shouting to him 'run! run!' and when the dogs heard my voice they turned on me and took me to the ground.

"They were on top of me - they bit my face and bit my shoulder.
"My son ran four caravans down to get my mum who came out shouting 'help! help!'."
She said the dogs ran away after around 15 seconds, leaving her shaken up and covered in blood.
A spokeswoman for the park, which is run by Parkdean Resorts, said “The safety of our guests is extremely important to us, so our security staff worked with the local police and paramedics who confirmed while on-site they were satisfied Anne and all other guests were OK, and no further steps were needed.
"Our park rules state that dogs must be kept on leads at all times and, as we have a zero-tolerance policy on this, the dogs were removed the following day.”
A Norfolk police spokeswoman confirmed officers were called to the incident and that a woman and a child received "superficial injuries which did not require hospital treatment".
A dog incident form was completed and the dog owner was informed it must be kept on a lead and in a secure premises.
