A local resident was jogging along Wetherby Road when a medium sized brown dog, described as having a pit bull type face, suddenly emerged from a hedge and bit them on the left hip.
The dog was on a lead at the time and accompanied by a white female, believed to be around 50 years old, of slight build, with short blond hair. She was wearing jogging bottoms and a thin puffer jacket.
