Police appeal for information after pensioners are attacked by dog

A man and a woman both aged over 70 were attacked by a dog in Dundee at the weekend.

Police Scotland said it received a report that a 72-year-old man and 73-year-old woman had been attacked by a “bull-type” breed dog as they walked in Greendykes Road at about 2.10pm on Sunday.

The dog was described as being medium-sized and tan in colour.

The man was taken to Ninewells Hospital for treatment to injuries to his arm and face. The woman did not require any treatment.

Officers are appealing for information from the public to identify the owner of the animal.

Sergeant Chris Hutchinson said: “We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time, or anyone who may have private CCTV or dashcam footage, as we try to identify the owner of the dog responsible.”
