Nine-month-old twin girls are in hospital after reports they were attacked by a fox at their home in east London.
Police said officers and paramedics were called to a house at around 2200 BST on Saturday.
The little girls are being treated at the Royal London Hospital and are described as being in a "serious but stable condition".
Both are understood to have arm wounds and one has facial injuries.
The fox was believed to have been in an upstairs room as the babies slept.
A police spokesman said: "The incident is not being treated as suspicious.
"We were called to reports of a fox attack. Officers and the ambulance found two girls with injuries."
In 2002, mother Sue Eastwood reported that her baby boy, Louis, was left injured after a fox crept into their house in Kent while she slept.
The fourteen-week-old suffered bite marks on his head after the animal darted into the sitting room of the house in Dartford

I can see this happening more and more. The number of foxes I see on the streets now and not just at night either seems to have increased.
