Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed someone being bitten by a dog around three weeks ago in Harrogate.

It happened in Burn Bridge in the Crimple Meadows Woodland playing field, around 10am on the 7th of October - but police have only just released details.

A man was walking two dogs - one of them jumped up and bit another man on the arm - causing minor injuries.

It involved a white man in his late fifties, 5ft 9 in height and of stocky build. He was wearing a dark green overcoat and walking two dogs off a lead.

The two dogs were described as young, 2-5 years old and two large brown Cockapoodle type dogs with thick brown curly hair. One dog was light brown and the other dark brown.
