The victim suffered bite marks to his leg after the dog, which was not on a lead, ran over as he walked along a footpath, and bit him. The owner of the dog then ran over and allegedly had to physically remove the animal.

The offender was described as a white man aged in his 30s, of medium build. The dog was black and white, possibly a pure-bred collie, about two years old.
