Dog Attack in Rutland: Police Seek Information After Woman's Jacket Ripped
Leicestershire Police are appealing for public assistance following an alarming incident involving a dog that occurred earlier this month in Rutland, near Stamford. The event, which left a woman shaken and her jacket damaged, took place at Quarry Farm, close to Little Castleton Road, on Wednesday, May 7, at approximately 5:45 PM.
The victim was out walking her own dog when she was approached by an off-lead Labrador. The Labrador, accompanied by a man and a woman, reportedly jumped up at the victim multiple times, attempting to bite her. The situation was brought under control when the man accompanying the Labrador eventually put his dog on a lead.
It was only after the encounter that the woman realised her jacket had been ripped during the incident.
A crucial witness, a cyclist, stopped to offer assistance to the woman after the dog attack. However, the victim was unfortunately unable to obtain his details before he departed. Police are particularly keen to speak with this individual, believing he may hold valuable information pertinent to their investigation.
Authorities are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or who has any information that could assist with their enquiries, to come forward. The cyclist, in particular, is encouraged to make contact with the police.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Leicestershire Police on the non-emergency number 101, quoting incident reference 25*266972. Alternatively, information can be provided online by visiting the Leicestershire Police website at https://leicspolice.link/oi4bB.
