Young boy attacked by dingo on Fraser Island

A young boy has been attacked by a dingo in Queensland.

The incident happened today at Orchid Beach on Fraser Island about 9.30am.

The boy, who is nine-years-old, was bitten on the hands and legs, and is understood to have minor injuries.

Queensland Ambulance said he sustained four puncture wounds which paramedics treated.

"The little boy bitten by two wongaris (dingoes) on K'gari (Fraser Island) is being treated for minor injuries," Queensland Environment said on Twitter.

"Rangers are investigating the incident."

In 2019 a 14-month-old boy was mauled by a dingo also on Fraser Island.

The toddler suffered a fractured skull and cuts to his head after the dingo dragged him from a campervan.
