A woman was bitten on the ankle and her terrier savaged by a Japanese Akita as she walked behind a community centre on Elm Tree Avenue, Stockton, at the weekend.
The owner of the Akita, a 29-year-old Stockton man, has been reported for summons by Cleveland Police, which means he will be required to attend court at a date to be fixed, though he has not yet been charged with a criminal offence.
The woman fell to the ground as her dog was being attacked, bruising an arm and a leg. It was while she was on the ground, that she was bitten on an ankle by the Akita.
The incident took place just after 8am on Sunday.
