Police have launched an investigation into a dog attack earlier this week.

A woman needed treatment for her injuries, including antibiotics, following the incident in the Rodbourne area of Swindon at around 10am on Thursday (14 January).

The victim was reportedly walking through Mannington Recreation Ground when a small brown dog, which wasn’t on a leash, came running over and bit her.

“The lady [dog’s owner] didn’t seem to care and just carried on walking even after I shouted your dog just bit me”, the victim commented.

Wiltshire Police has confirmed it is investigating the incident.

Anyone with information relating to this incident should contact Wiltshire Police by calling 101. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
