Two children, aged six and 11, were hospitalized after being attacked by a dog in a playground near Newfoundpool, Leicester. The incident occurred on April 19, and the children sustained bites to their legs and thighs.
West Leicester Police have released CCTV footage of a woman with a dog and are seeking to identify and speak with her as part of their ongoing investigation. The images show a woman in a grey hoodie appearing to struggle to control the animal.
"Enquiries have been ongoing since the incident was reported to us and we hope the public can help us move the investigation on," a police spokesperson stated. "We know the images are not the best quality, but we hope someone will recognise the woman or the dog."
Authorities are urging anyone with information, or anyone who suspects they know the identity of the woman, to come forward. They are asked to contact PC 4630 Samuel Senior on 101, quoting reference number 26*224111.
