Police have issued an image of a man we believe may be able to assist detectives investigating an incident involving dogs on Ainsdale beach in February.


At around 3pm on 19 February, a woman was walking her dog on the beach when she was knocked to the ground by a dog off its lead which then attacked her own dog. The woman attended hospital for treatment for a knee injury, and her dog required veterinary treatment including surgery.
Inspector Beth Blake said: “We are asking the man pictured to come forward as we believe he may have information that could assist our investigation into this incident.
"It is a criminal offence to allow a dog to be dangerously out of control, and in this case both a dog and its owner were left requiring treatment for injuries caused by the dog.
"Anyone walking their dog in Merseyside needs to be mindful of their dog’s behaviour at all times and keep their pet on a lead if it is liable to be aggressive towards people or animals. We will not tolerate irresponsible dog ownership here in Merseyside."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Merseyside Police social media desk via Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook Merseyside Police CC. You can also call 101 quoting incident reference 19100064022 or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously, on 0800 555 111 or via their online form at: https://crimestoppers-uk.org/give-in...ve-information.

19th February??
you're asking now , bloody Nora you're
having a laugh . Who can remember
what they were doing last Monday.
Nice to ask but why not at the time?

I hope the “responsible dog owner” is put before the courts and given a fierce punishment together with payment of compensation. Fools who think they can control their dog off the lead are dangerously deluded.

Yes, I've said this before on here.

It seems that the police exhaust their own lines of enquiry (if indeed there were any) before asking the public. But who would have been more likely to be walking on the beach on the day in question - a member of the public or a police patrol?

Ainsdale beach and the Weld Road walk has several such incidents, these are busy areas for dog walkers - all dogs out in public should be on a lead regardless. Your dog may be well behaved, but there are many who are not. If everyone has their dog on a lead there would be no such events.

Because somebody might remember and then they would have to do some work, now they can put the ticks in the boxes.

Well I thinks its likely the person in the picture will have the answers.
