Police are appealing for witnesses to a dog attack incident in Dundee on Tuesday afternoon.
A 79-year-old man was walking his toy poodle dog on the lead on the north pavement on Tannadice Street, near to the junction with Clepington Street, when a dark coloured Staffordshire Bull Terrier type dog ran towards his dog and attacked it, causing the elderly man to fall in the process.
His pet poodle then broke free and ran off.
Whilst the elderly man was lying on the pavement a woman was seen walking over to the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and put it on a lead. She made off towards Court Street without stopping.
She’s described as being between 30 and 39 years old with long black hair and was wearing a brown jacket and dark coloured trousers. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier type dog was wearing a studded collar.
The elderly man was later reunited with his dog and the poodle, which suffered a number of puncture wounds and an injury to its shoulder.
The elderly man was uninjured.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, or anyone who can identify the owner of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier type dog, is being urged to get in touch with Police Scotland Tayside Division on 101 or speak to any police officer.
