According to police, the boy was bitten in the knee by a dog described as a black Labrador puppy and was left with minor injuries.

Police would like to trace the owner of the dog and speak with them about the incident.

Dog owners are also being reminded to be mindful of their surroundings and that a short lead is always advisable from a safety perspective, as it is easier to control a dog on a short lead, particularly as many can be unpredictable around people, other animals and vehicles.
