POLICE are appealing for information after a man was attacked by a dog in Irvine.
On Wednesday, May 11, police received reports of a man having been attacked while walking his dog in a field near to the Annick Water, Middleton Road.
The man was walking his tan and white Springer Spaniel between 4.35pm and 5pm when he was attacked by a large dog described as being tan coloured and similar to a mastiff.
The victim later attended hospital for assessment and treatment to a number of puncture wounds on his arm.
PC Nik Callan of Kilwinning Community Policing Team said: "This has been a traumatic incident for the victim. We are keen to speak with a man wearing a burgundy t-shirt seen in the area at the time, who may have witnessed the incident and I would appeal for anyone with any information to contact us."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland by calling 101 (in an emergency always dial 999), or alternatively contact CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.
