Police are working to trace the dog's owner
A loose Rottweiler ran up to a teenage boy in a play area and bit him, police said. The 12-year-old boy was bitten on the leg during the incident at the Pirate Play Park, off Loscoe Road, in Carrington.
His trousers were ripped and he was left in pain. Police, who have asked witnesses to come forward, are now working to trace the dog's owner as part of the force investigation into what happened. Police Constable John Pearson said: “The dog, which was off its lead, ran up to the young boy and bit him. Thankfully his injuries are not serious.“I’m appealing for anyone who saw what happened, or anyone who has any information which could assist us with our investigation, to please get in touch with us. Finally, I would urge the female owner involved to do the right thing and come forward so we can take her account.
The bite was reported at around 5pm on Saturday, March 11. The female dog owner, described as being of large build and having dark hair, left the play park via the Mansfield Road exit, officers said. Anyone with information is asked to contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident 493 of March 11, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
