Appeal following dog incident

Appeal following dog incident

We are appealing for help to trace a dog which has bitten a member of the public in Rickmansworth.

On Monday 13 July at around 5.30pm, it is reported that the victim was on the Uxbridge Road, near the industrial area by the lakes, when he was bitten by a large brown dog, possibly a Cane Corso. The dog, which was off the lead, ran at the male victim and bit him. The man had to attend hospital to have the wound treated.

Officers, who are trying to identify the dog and locate the owner, are appealing for anyone in the area who may have information that could help their investigation, to get in touch.
