An 11-year-old boy from South Yorkshire has had to have plastic surgery after he was bitten on the face by a dog.
The boy suffered "significant facial injuries'' after being attacked by a brindle-coloured boxer dog in Robin Hood's Bay near Whiby.
North Yorkshire Police are appealing to members of the public to help identify two men captured in CCTV images.
A police spokeswoman said the incident happened just after 6.10pm on Thursday, when the boy was bitten outside the fish and chip shop on Albion Road.
The boy was taken by ambulance to Scarborough Hospital before being transferred to York.
