Police appeal after man 'knocks woman to the floor' while walking her dog in Corby
The victim had asked the man to put his dog on a lead before he injured the woman and her dog
Police are appealing for witnesses and information after a woman was knocked to the floor while walking her dog in Corby.
At around 3pm last Wednesday, April 24, the woman was walking through woodland off Studfall Avenue with her dog, which was on an extendable lead.
When she asked a man walking an off-lead dog to put it on a lead, the man became verbally agitated before he approached and nudged the woman, causing her to stumble and fall.
An unknown man and woman, who were not believed to be together, then intervened to separate the dogs and help the woman, with the man walking off with his dog.
The woman and her dog sustained minor injuries that did not require medical assessment.
The man involved is described as an older white man, with long grey hair and a beard, with unkempt clothing.
His dog is described as a fox-coloured mixed breed.
