POLICE in East Cornwall are appealing for information following a dog bite in Gunnislake on Friday.

At 3pm on Friday, October 9, a member of public was walking from Calstock Road into Fore Street when she was followed by a white Jack Russell. When she turned to look at the dog it jumped up and bit her left hand, which was down by her side, and caused a lot of bleeding. The dog was on its own with no sign of any owner nearby.

The lady was given a tetanus injection and antibiotics following a visit to the doctor.

The dog was wearing a collar with a silver tag.

Anyone who knows the dog and the owner is asked to contact Callington police on 101, quoting crime reference number CR/070315/15.
