A man in his 30s was attacked by a large dog on Tudor Road in Tranmere at around 11.20am on Tuesday, 3 November. He was walking towards Park Road when the dog, which was with its owner, bit him on the arm. The dog eventually released its grip despite the owner's efforts to pull it away.

The dog is described as large with long brown hair and is believed to be either a Bernese Mountain Dog or Caucasian Shepherd. Following the attack, the owner and dog walked off along Park Road and onto Oriel Road.

Neighbourhood Inspector Nicola Hughes said: 'We are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or knows who the dog's owner is to please contact us as a matter of urgency. The victim sustained puncture wounds to his arm and was left understandably distressed by the attack. It is imperative that we identify the dog and its owner as quickly as possible so it cannot harm anyone else.'
