CCTV plea after man bitten by Alsatian dog with no collar on in Rainworth

A man needed hospital treatment after a dog on the loose in Nottinghamshire bit him while he was walking through a field. Police are seeking the public’s help after the dog bit the man in the groin area.

Police said the brown Alsatian ran up to the 54-year-old and bit him on land at the back of South Avenue, Rainworth, at around 4.30pm on Friday, August 12.

Police Constable Louise Bicknell, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The dog didn’t have a collar on and there was no-one else in the field at the time of the incident. It’s believed the dog ran off towards Little John Drive.

“I am appealing for anyone who has any CCTV footage which may cover the area or anyone who has any information about the dog to please get in touch.

“If this is your dog, or you have any information that could assist us with our enquiries, please call the police on 101, quoting incident 529 of 12 August 2022.”
