POLICE in Redditch are looking for a dog walker after a teenager was badly bitten on the leg last Tuesday.

The 16-year-old boy was bitten on the leg as he walked along Church Road in Astwood Bank at around 1.30pm on Tuesday (August 8)  and the dog bite left an open wound and bruising.

Police are now trying to trace the dog walker, who was a white woman aged in her late 30’s to early 40’s, of a slim build and had dark brown hair.

As well as the medium sized dog, which is white with brown patches, she also had a small child with her.
