A teen girl was rushed to hospital last night after being savagely attacked by a dog as she tried to help its owner fix a harness.
The horrific incident happened last night at roughly 9pm, leaving the girl with substantial injuries to her cheek and needing medical assistance.
The victim, 17, tried to help with putting the dog’s harness on in the park when it attacked her. It savaged her face, leaving her with a ‘substantial’ injury to her face and cheek, report Mirror Online.
She had to go to hospital, officers said. Police have now issued an appeal for witnesses and have asked anyone with information about the man, described in his 70s, or the dog to come forward.
A post on the official GMP Trafford South Facebook page last night described dog owner in Navigation Park, Altrincham, as a white male, who was aged around 70 and around 5ft 9in tall.
He was described as being unstable on his feet and was wearing a long, brown leather jacket with a bobble hat. He also had a walking stick, the appeal added.
The dog was described as being mostly white. It looked similar to a Labrador but was thought to have been crossed with another breed and had ginger fur on its back.
The dog was also described as being skinny, ‘fairly young’ - around two-years-old - and had a red harness.
Police said if you have witnessed this incident or have any information which could help identify this male and his dog, please get in touch via 101 or Live Chat in reference to Log 3423- 17/05/22

Angus Finney Just as George Banks, Mary Poppins’ bowler-hatted boss sang nearly 60 years ago, bankers demand “precision” when they go to work. Without “order” there’s a danger of “chaos and moral disintegration … and a ghastly mess.” Well sung, given that the world today faces existential “disorder” as media and entertainment bank-ers wind their way to the 75th Cannes Film Festival.The past 15 years have already thrown outsized curve balls of their own at bankers and second-tier financiers, including the financial crisis of 2008-09, when the Masters of the Universe suffered from a Marvel-scale crisis — leading to a plethora of bank media and entertainment loan books being closed — and giving rise to a host of second tier financing operations.
