Officers investigating an incident where a woman was bitten by a dog in Christchurch are issuing images of two people they would like to speak to.

The incident occurred at around 1.45pm on Saturday 5 June 2021 on the beach between Steamer Point and Highcliffe Castle while the victim was walking her dog with her family.

It is reported that a large dog ran toward the victim’s dog’s neck. The victim – a woman aged in her 40s from the New Forest area – got caught up in the incident and the large dog bit her. 

The offending dog is described as an Akita crossed with a Doberman that had dark brown or black short fur. It was not on a lead at the time of the incident.

The victim sustained a bite to her hand and scratches and she attended hospital for treatment.

Police Constable Jennie Sykes-Martin, of Dorset Police, said: “The owners of the dog walked away and did not provide their details, so I am carrying out enquiries to locate them.

“I am now in a position to issue an image of a man and a woman who I would like to speak to as part of my enquiries and I would urge anyone who recognises them to please get in touch.”
