A dog walker slapped a woman in her 60s who told him off after his collie charged her pets.

Police have issued an appeal - and a picture - after the incident. The victim, who lives near the park where it happened, was walking her dogs.

A dark-coloured collie-type dog, not on a lead, charged over. She challenged this dog’s owner - and he then came over and slapped her cheek. She wasn’t injured, and as she called the police, the man tried to grab her phone.
