“Due to the threat posed, armed officers attended. After assessing the situation, officers were able to safely seize two dogs," said a Metropolitan Police spokesman.

“These were registered XL bully dogs and prior to officers’ arrival had been contained inside a room in the house. They did not leave the house at any time during the incident."&nbsp;

There has been a notable increase in reported attacks in recent years by the breed.&nbsp;

<h2>Previous cases</h2>

In a previous case, a mother and son were jailed after an eight-year-old boy was seriously injured in an attack by an XL bully dog.

The UK government responded to the surge in attacks by introducing strict regulations. As of February 1, it is illegal to own an XL bully in England and Wales without an exemption certificate.

Owners who applied for an exemption needed to purchase insurance.

In addition to this, they also have to microchip their dog and pay a £92.40 fee per animal.&nbsp;

Older dogs must be neutered by June 30. However, there is a relaxation for dogs under the age of one as they can be neutered by this year's end.

Registered dogs must be muzzled when in public.

The strict decision to ban the breed followed a series of alarming incidents.

This included an attack in Birmingham in September last year where an 11-year-old girl sustained shoulder and arm injuries.

Another 52-year-old Ian Price in the West Midlands was also killed.

In November 2021, 10-year-old Jack Lis was mauled to death by an XL bully dog, leading to the owner's three-year imprisonment.

Another shocker! Woman mauled to death by two of her XL Bully dogs in East London home

Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor considers himself an 'outsider' in Bollywood. Kapoor's parents Pankaj Kapoor and Neliima Azeem are well known actors but Kapoor has revealed that he had to make his way into the Hindi film industry without any help from his parents.&nbsp; 
 
In a new episode of No Filter Neha, Shahid spoke about how he had faced 'bullying' in his career and that he would not tolerate it anymore.&nbsp; 
 
Shahid said that while his father was from the film industry, he couldn't really take any advantage of it to kickstart his own career. He said that only 'stars, superstars and directors' have that kind of power, ‘not character actors’. 
 
Outsider in Bollywood 
 
The actor addressed the age-old debate around nepotism and admitted that opportunities are less for outsiders in the film industry. Shahid said he became a known face only because of his work and talent and he learned the craft of acting along the way.&nbsp; 
 
The actor also candidly stated that the quality of cinema had deteriorated because people who were industry insiders or related to someone within the industry would get opportunities and not talented outsiders.&nbsp;

Bullied throughout 
 
Shahid Kapoor also spoke about coming to Mumbai from Delhi and how he was the odd one out at his school due to the way he spoke. Shahid said he had been treated as an outsider all his life. “I didn't have the qualities to be a campy person (part of a Bollywood camp). I was from Delhi and came to Bombay (Mumbai) and I was not accepted in my class. I was the outsider because my accent was different and I was really badly treated for a long period of time. Then we were living in rented houses and had to shift every 11 months. So I would be in a new building, trying to make friends with people, who did not know me," he said.&nbsp; 
 
It was finally in college that he felt accepted and found some friends.

Shahid recalled that he felt the same when he started working in films. “I came into this industry and realised ye toh school ke tarah hi hai (This is just like school). Outsiders are not accepted easily here. They have a big issue with how did you manage to come in here. So, for many years I dealt with that. I don't like this campy thing. I think people who want to creatively collaborate with each other should, people who are comfortable with each other should. But that doesn't mean you diss other people and try to put other people down or close the doors to other people. And I think that as a teenage or young adult I didn't have the confidence to fight back but now, if you try to bully me, I will bully you right back. I will bully the bully because they deserve it." 
 
Shahid was last seen in the romantic comedy Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya which also co-starred Kriti Sanon. The film has collected Rs 150 crore (Rs 1.5 billion) at the box office.&nbsp;
