A dog, believed to be an XL bully, has reportedly attacked another dog in Letchworth.
At around 9.30am on Thursday (July 25), police received reports of a dog being dangerously out of control.
A woman was walking her dog in fields behind North Herts Leisure Centre off Baldock Road when an off-lead dog with a pink collar - believed to be a female XL bully - attacked her dog. The woman's pet did not suffer any physical injuries.
The owner of the apparent XL bully is described as a white man, around 40 to 50 years of age, with a bald head. He was wearing knee-length shorts and a light-coloured T-shirt, and was part of a group of four or five people.
