Police are appealing for witnesses following reports of a dog attack in Swindon.
The incident happened in Shrewton Walk at around 8.45pm on Thursday (18 May).
A woman was walking her dog when they were approached by two dogs off leads and without their owner.
One of them, described as a large Chow Chow type breed, brown/black in colour with spikey long fur attacked the woman’s dog, causing an injury to his back.
The woman also suffered an injury to her hand as she tried to protect her dog.
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.”
If you saw what happened, or have information that could help with our enquiries, please contact police on 101 quoting reference number 54230052211.
