86-year-old man needs skin graft after being bitten by two dogs

An 86-year-old man was left "shaken" after he was attacked by two dogs.

The incident happened at around 11am on Monday, February 3 when the man was walking on Meadow Lane, Long Eaton when he was attacked by two German Shepard type dogs.

He has received two bite marks as a result of the attack.

Police said they have had to cover the extent of the bite as they felt it too gory to publish and are now trying to find the owners of the dogs.

The incident is being investigated by PCSO Matt Boyer, of the Long Eaton Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “The victim did not see where the dogs came from or where they went.

“One of the bites to his arm is particularly nasty and will require skin grafting, he has been left very shaken after the attack.

“I would therefore urge anyone who knows anything about the incident or perhaps knows who owns these two dogs to make contact with me.”

Anyone with any information should call Derbyshire police on 101 quoting reference number 20*64124.

You can also anonymously contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111.
