London - A five-month-old baby girl has died after being attacked by two Rottweiler dogs in the Midlands city of Leicester, British police said on Sunday.

Leicestershire police and ambulance staff were called to a pub in the New Parks area of the city on Saturday afternoon, before the baby was rushed to Leicester Royal Infirmary, where she later died from her injuries.

The BBC reported the baby girl had been dragged onto the roof of the pub, which was run by her parents.

Police said they had taken away the two Rottweilers from the scene of the attack and have launched an investigation into the baby's death.
