A man police are seeking to question regarding a dog attack that resulted in injuries to a woman and her baby has been captured in a photo recently released. The incident occurred between 6.30pm and 6.50pm on Friday, September 5, on Stephenson Drive near the Newfoundpool area of Leicester. The woman, accompanied by her young child and baby in a stroller, was approached by an unleashed dog, causing both the woman and the pushchair to be knocked over, resulting in minor injuries. The mother sustained a scratch on her back while the baby sustained a forehead “lump and graze.”
Leicestershire Police have disclosed that they have made public a CCTV image of an individual they wish to interview following the dog attack on the young family in Leicester. The dog, off its leash, leaped up, scratched the woman’s back, and then jumped at the pushchair, toppling it and the woman over. The baby hit its head during the incident, resulting in a lump and graze on its forehead. The dog’s owner later intervened, pulling the dog away and fleeing towards Samson Road. Authorities have circulated the photo of the man in question, urging him or anyone with information about him to come forward, as he might possess details about the incident.
In a statement, the police emphasized the significance of identifying the individual in the image to aid in the investigation. They encouraged anyone with information or who recognizes the man to contact the police at 101, quoting reference number 25000525597, or online at www.leics.police.uk.
