Urgent advice needed

My son is currently living with us in a very small flat with his gf, baby and dog. The dog has become very aggressive with me. He bites me every time i go into the kitchen. I thought the problem was him being inside all the time in a very small space. Taking him out more hasnt helped. He is only aggressive to me. I have always been very kind to him, let him sleep in my bed when they are away, give him treats, never ever raised a hand to him or even my voice. Today he has hurt me badly, he bit my hand and i am now unable to move it. He is a big dog of mixed breeds and is not neutered which he should be. Any advice on this would help.

Get yourself seen by a medic ASAP !
Just to be sure you haven't been infected by anything the dog may have !

Other than kicking the dog and as a consequence probably it's owner out the only other thing you could do is muzzle it.

If the bite broke the skin you need advice from both a medic and a vet.
It's often thought that once an animal gets the taste for blood the next one could be a mauling !!!

@Picklebobble2 I have asked them to remove the dog by Wednesday. She is still expecting me to look after the dog tomorrow when they will be away overnight. I've never harmed an animal in my life, but i tried using a rolled up newspaper, hit it against my leg hoping the sound would scare him, he just became more aggressive. Luckily he hasnt broken the skin, but the hand is very swollen, if its no better by the morning i will go to a&e. Its so beyond me, animals have always been drawn to me and im very gentle with them. This is the first animal who has been aggressive. The first time they lived here he wasnt aggressive at all. He needs a new, stable home where he has space to run. I grew up with bullterriers and pits and never ever saw any of them become aggressive to anyone, our cat was more aggressive than they were and he was the most chilled cat in the world.
