Police officers are appealing for the owner of a dog to come forward after a man sustained minor injuries in Glastonbury Road, Delapre, Northampton.
The incident occurred between 11.30am and 11.50am on Sunday, January 12, when the man and his dog stepped aside to allow another dog walker and his two dogs to pass when one of the pair slipped its lead and attacked the other dog.
Its owner managed to pull his dog away and told the victim to go but before he could, the dog broke free and started to attack the other dog again. As the victim intervened, he was pulled to the ground with his hand still in the dog’s mouth.
Officers would like to speak to the owner of the other two dogs which are described as a black labrador and a dark grey mixed breed dog, believed to be a Pitbull/Staffordshire Bull Terrier type, called Deeko. It was wearing a thick dark coloured collar.
Their owner is described as a white man in his mid-20s. He was about 5ft 10ins, of a slim build, with a groomed beard. He was wearing a grey hoodie and dark beanie hat.
Witnesses or anyone who recognises the description of the dogs’ owner are asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101 or alternatively contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Please quote incident number 25000022181 when providing any information to make sure it gets to the right person as quickly as possible.
