A woman has been bitten by a dog in Horley.

The victim in her thirties was reportedly walking along the High Street around 2 o’clock last Wednesday afternoon when a dog approached and bit her.

A verbal altercation between the woman and the owner of the dog, thought to be a Mastiff, then occurred.

Police would like to speak with the owner who has been described as a white man around 35-40 years old with a medium build; short fair hair and facial stubble.

The dog had fawn coloured fur patches and was wearing a thin chain as a collar.
