Thanks all.
I'm happy to report our wee dog is now home. She seems in remarkable spirits and we were having to discourage her from running around too much. It's such a relief to have her back. Also happy she saw a dog she's friends with from a distance and was desperate to play which is great.
As advise above I'm not thinking too much about the owner of the other dog, I'm just glad it's off the street (hopefully for good). I've seen it around before and it is not a well cared for dog (see picture). It turns out it had attacked another dog a few years ago but it disappeared and the police lost interest. Other dog people we've told since have said, "that sounds like the dog that attacked my friend's dog..."
@velosaurus it wasn't on a collar, nevermind a lead when it attacked. Someone attached a chain collar during the melee and it was eventually removed using that but mainly by some heroic builders pouring water into its mouth until it opened just enough to free her.
@LukeG this is dog after the attack. A witness kindly sent this and other images. Someone else called the police during the attack which is why they acted so fast.
