Report being attacked or bitten by a dog

Any attack by a dog on a person is a criminal offence. This includes biting, bruising, significant scratching and any injury caused from falling over while being chased.
A dog behaving aggressively and causing someone to be in fear of being injured is also a criminal offence and should also be reported to the police.
