Police Seek Men Following Dog Attack in Harrogate Park

Law enforcement authorities are searching for two men whose unleashed dog assaulted and wounded an 85-year-old man’s pet labrador, leading to the man’s fall as he attempted to shield his animal. This event occurred in Hall Lane Park, Harrogate, on 19 November, between 19:00 GMT and 19:30 GMT, and officers reported that it left the victim “shaken and upset”. According to a spokesperson, an “out-of-control white pitbull-type dog” was being walked by two white men, dressed in dark clothing, who are believed to be in their twenties. These individuals departed the park without offering any contact information. North Yorkshire Police has issued an appeal for any individuals who witnessed the occurrence, or who can identify either of the two men or the dog involved in the attack, to contact them. Police further noted that the pitbull was not equipped with a muzzle.
