The family of a man who died after being attacked by dogs in Rubery have paid tribute to the "kind-hearted, caring and compassionate" 32-year-old. 

Nicholas Glass was found dead in the garden of a relative’s property on Hereford Close in Rednal in the early hours of last Wednesday (August 21). 

A post-mortem revealed he had died as a result of injuries consistent with having been bitten by a dog.

Police said their investigation into the incident continues.

It’s believed up to four dogs were present around the time he was attacked.

Two of the dogs were seized by police at the time, and the remaining pair were found two days later.

Tests have now concluded that two of the dogs were XL Bullies, which are banned a breed. Neither have a certificate of exemption.

A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: "Our enquiries into Nicholas’ death continue, and all four of the dogs remain in our secure kennels."

His family said today: “In Nicholas we’ve lost a loving son, brother and uncle who was adored by all of his family and friends.

“He was kind-hearted, caring and compassionate and he’d do anything for anyone.

"We are devastated at his loss and we all miss him desperately.”
