A 34-year-old&nbsp;woman in Australia is fighting for her life&nbsp;after a brutal attack by her dog in North Queensland. The dog bit her arm off during the attack inside a house in the coastal city of Townsville. The emergency services were reportedly called around 7:00 am (local time) on Friday (Oct 11).&nbsp;

The woman had sustained 'life-threatening' injuries as her right arm below the elbow had been severely injured. However, the detached part was retrieved by the paramedics before she was rushed to a local hospital. The woman is said to be in a serious but stable condition.&nbsp;

The police had arrived to find the woman bleeding heavily outside the house, and the dog was believed to be a pit bull, said&nbsp;Senior Sgt Scott Warrick during a press conference.&nbsp;He said, "It was very angry, very aggressive... [it] was still trying to get outside."

After arriving at the scene, some officers barricaded the house while others applied a temporary bandage to the woman’s arm to stop bleeding until paramedics arrived.&nbsp;

Sgt Warrick said, "I've been a police officer for 37 years... this is the first time I've gone to such a serious injury as a result of a dog attack. He added, "The injuries to this lady are just absolutely awful and we wish her a speedy recovery.”&nbsp;

He also stated that the dog was euthanised on the advice of animal control officers.

"I have dogs, and to see an outcome like this is absolutely heartbreaking, and we do understand people will be upset... but we were left with no other choice," said&nbsp; Sgt Warrick.&nbsp;A second small dog was found injured at the scene and is being cared for by the RSPCA.&nbsp;

Two neighbours told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC News)&nbsp;that the dog involved in the incident was known for being aggressive and also mentioned that it had attacked him before.

Sgt Warrick said that police may have been contacted for the dog before, but currently, they are looking into the specifics.

Australia: Woman loses her arm, sustains 'life-threatening' injuries after brutal dog attack

After storm Alberto lashed in the western regions of Cuba on Sunday, it is now making its way to Florida in the United States with forecasters saying that it could bring life-threatening flooding to Southern coastal states.

Visitors and residents in Florida's Panhandle are keeping a lookout for subtropical storm Alberto which is expected to slam into the region about mid-afternoon Monday (May 28), and wallop parts of the southeastern United States with drenching rains, blasting winds and possible tornadoes.&nbsp

Thousands of Florida residents evacuated homes on Sunday (May 27) as the storm headed north through the Gulf of Mexico.&nbsp

Storm Alberto lashed the western Cuban region of Artemisa on Sunday, swelling a nearby river and dumping up to 12 cm of rain in less than eight hours.

According to local media, some families were evacuated but the rain and flooding were quick to hit. Central regions of Cuba like Villa Clara were also affected.

The storm was about 115 miles (185 km) southwest of Panama City, on the Gulf of Mexico coast as of 2 a.m. EDT, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Alberto was expected to drop as much as 12 inches (30 cm) of rain, slamming an area from Mississippi to western Georgia, the Miami-based hurricane center said.
