Wiltshire Police are appealing for the public’s help to identify a dog owner after a man was reportedly bitten on the hand by a dog.

The incident happened at Jubilee Lakes in Royal Wootton Bassett on Sunday, August 18 between 10:30am and 10:40am.

Officers received reports that a man had lost control of his dog which attacked the victim’s dog, before biting the victim on the hand, which later became infected.
