The owner of two dogs that savaged 10 people in a "horrific and nightmarish" street attack has been jailed for 12 months.
Unemployed father-of-one Spencer Brown, 22, pleaded guilty to 10 counts of owning dogs which were dangerously out of control in a public place.
The attacks happened after Brown's Staffordshire bull terrier crosses, Tilly and Freak, escaped from his East Sussex home in St Leonards-on-Sea on July 22.
Passers-by were bitten on their hands, arms and legs as the two dogs roamed around the area with no leads on, while those who came to the victims' aid were also attacked.

Police eventually managed to subdue one of the animals with a fire extinguisher and a dog catcher pole, while a passer-by dragged the other one into a cage.
Weeks before the attacks, a man suffered multiple cuts, wounds and a broken finger after one of the same dogs attacked him during a confrontation between him and Brown.
The victim, Jason Griggs, has been left scarred and unable to work as an electrician following the attack, which also left him needing physiotherapy.
Brown, who has eight previous convictions for offences including theft and shoplifting, admitted owning a dog which caused injury in a private place in relation to the attack on Mr Griggs and also possession of cannabis.
Neither dog was banned but police recommended they both be destroyed after reports from the kennels where they are being held that they remain aggressive.
Jailing Brown at Lewes Crown Court today, Judge Anthony Scott-Gall said they were "grave and quite horrific" offences which had left victims "savagely mauled".
The sentencing comes days after new guidelines were brought in for judges dealing with people convicted of being owners of dangerously out of control dogs which harm others in public.
