The owner of a puppy was reportedly threatened by another dog walker during an altercation over their pets.
It happened in Myland Hall Chase, Colchester, at about 2pm on Monday, January 25, when a woman and her daughter were walking their puppy on a lead.
They met a man standing with a Labrador-type dog, which was also on a lead.
The victim’s puppy then approached the man’s dog and the puppy then jumped back in pain.
The woman and her daughter continued on their walk but then realised the puppy’s nose was bleeding.
She returned to the man and asked for his details in case she needed to take her puppy to the vet. However, the man refused and carried on walking.
The woman then again tried to make contact with the man.
