A WOMAN broke her wrist after being attacked by two dogs in Bridgwater on Christmas Day.

The victim, in her late 60s, was walking her dog away from Victoria Park when it was attacked by two others at the junction of Coleridge Green and Coleridge Road between 5.15pm and 5.30pm.

Police said the attack left the woman’s dog with a puncture wound and caused her to fall, dislocating and fracturing her right wrist.

She was taken to hospital for treatment and has since been discharged to continue her recovery at home.

A man was reported to have been walking two Cane Corso-type dogs on a lead before they broke free. He was with a young female who managed to retrieve them, with the pair leaving the scene and heading back through Victoria Park.

“The man has been described as tall and thin, wearing a parka-style coat with a fur-lined hood and the female was described as young with mousey, blonde hair,” police said. “No more details over their descriptions have been established at this stage.

“We are now appealing for any witnesses to the incident or those with information on the keepers of the two offending dogs to come forward.

“We also understand a man helped the woman after the incident, who may have information which could assist our enquiries.

“CCTV and house-to-house enquiries have been carried out, and we have been in contact with the victim who has support from family members and friends.”

Anyone who might know the dog owners, or has information about the incident, should contact police on 101, quoting reference number 5225362638, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
