“This incident was reported to us and we issued an appeal at the end of May.

“From this appeal, we recently received information about the possible identity of a person shown in CCTV footage in our appeal.

“We can confirm that on September 4, a 64-year-old local man was arrested on suspicion of being the owner of a dog which was dangerously out of control, causing injury.

“The man has been bailed, pending further investigation.

“I would like to thank the public for their support for our investigation and for coming forward.
