POLICE officers would like to speak to this woman after a teenage girl was allegedly bitten on her leg by a dog during her paper round.
The incident occurred at approximately 2.30pm on Saturday, November 7 on High Street in the Wyke Regis area of Weymouth.
A 14-year-old girl was pushing her scooter along High Street while doing her paper round when she walked past a woman with two dogs.
One of the dogs sniffed the girl’s leg before biting her, making a hole in her leggings and puncturing the skin, police say.
Dorset Police say the woman walked off with the dogs without saying anything.
An investigation has been launched into the incident and police officers have issued a photograph of a woman they would like to speak to in connection with their enquiries.
Police Constable Jennie Sykes-Martin, of Dorset Police, said: “The girl took a photo of the woman as she walked away and I am appealing to anyone who recognises her to please contact us.
“I would also like to appeal directly to the woman involved in this incident to come forward so we can take your account.”
