A postman "had his arm nearly ripped clean off" when he was attacked by two Rottweilers while delivering Christmas mail.

Keith Davies, 54, was attacked during his rounds in Cambridge yesterday.

Union officials said a bricklayer had gone to Mr Davies' aid and "probably saved his life".

"He suffered horrific injuries. It's hard to imagine the terror he must have gone through," said a spokesman for the Communication Workers Union (CWU).

"He had his arm nearly ripped clean off. He underwent six hours of surgery. He suffered nerve and tendon damage.

"He has a great big hole in his arm. We don't know whether they are going to save his arm.

"Mr Davies and his family are traumatised. We don't know what long-term psychological damage he will suffer. We don't know whether he'll be able to work as a postman again."

Police said the dogs had been destroyed and an inquiry into the attack is under way.

The Royal Mail said Mr Davies was making "steady progress" and added: "We are, of course, shocked by this incident and are urgently investigating what
happened."

i hope doctors could save his arm!
