Thames Valley Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a woman and her dog, suspected to be involved in a dog bite incident that took place in Wantage last month.
A man in his late 50s was walking his own dog on Letcombe Hill on Wednesday, November 20, around 4 pm, when he passed another dog walker. During the encounter, the man’s leg was bitten by the other dog. He sought treatment at a hospital shortly afterward and has since been discharged.
