Officers investigating an incident where a woman was bitten by a dog as she was out running in Weymouth are issuing an image of a man they would like to speak to.
At around 4.50pm on Wednesday 8 September 2021 a woman aged in her 30s was running near to the Harriers roundabout, following a path down to Lorton Meadows, when she saw a man with a dog on an extendable lead. As she ran past the dog bit her on the leg, causing a puncture wound.
The man reportedly told the woman it was her fault before walking off.
