Teenager bitten by dog in Rushden

Northamptonshire Police are appealing for the owner of a dog to come forward after a teenage boy was bitten in Rushden.

At around 8pm on the 5th of June the boy met friends to walk their dogs in an area known locally as the Dog Walking Field within the grounds of Hall Park.

While playing fetch with his own pet, another dog ran across the field to pick up the ball, but instead bit the boy’s hand. He needed urgent medical treatment at hospital.

Officers would like to speak to the male who was with the dog. He is described as white, about 6ft and of a slim build with dirty blonde hair and a distinguishable raised lip. He was wearing a dark blue long-sleeved top and beige jogging bottoms.
