A woman and her dog were attacked by a large dog in Swindon.

It happened on around 8.45pm on Thursday on Shrewton Walk in Penhill.

The woman suffered an injury to her hand as she tried to protect her dog.

Anyone with information is being urged to contact police.

PC Zoe Saunders said: “This was a scary and unprovoked attack in a busy area. Luckily the injuries to the dog seem to be minor but the victim needed hospital treatment to her hand.

“We believe several other dog walkers were around at the time and would have witnessed the incident. We would urge them to get in touch with us.

“We’d also like to hear from a delivery driver who helped the dog walker.”
