AN elderly couple who tried to help a neighbour who fell out of his wheelchair have been attacked by his dogs in Melbourne's west.
The good Samaritan couple – a man in his 80s and a woman in her 70s – were taken to hospital with bite wounds following the attack in Werribee this afternoon.
The pair had heard cries for helps from the neighbour's property and found that he'd fallen from his wheelchair in his front yard.
But when they went to his assistance, his two dogs attacked them.
An ambulance spokesperson said the woman suffered injuries to an arm and the man to his forehead and an ear.
