Woman threatened in Colchester during argument over dogs
Essex Police is appealing for information
A woman has reportedly been threatened by a man in Colchester during an argument over the pair’s dogs.
The woman and her daughter were walking their puppy on a lead in Myland Hall Chase at around 2pm on Monday (25 January), when they met a man standing with a Labrador-type dog, which was also on a lead.
The victim’s puppy approached the man’s dog and then jumped back in pain.
The woman and her daughter continued on their walk, but then realised her puppy’s nose was bleeding.
She went back to the man and asked for his details in case she needed to take her puppy to the vet.
But, the man refused and carried on walking.
The woman then tried to make contact with the man again, but he reportedly became aggressive and lunged towards the woman, causing her to fear he was going to be violent, or try to take her phone.
Essex Police is appealing for information on the man (pictured) who they would like to speak to in connection with the investigation.
