Youngster bitten by dog in Hadfield

Police are appealing for witnesses after a seven-year-old child was allegedly bitten by a dog on playing fields in Hadfield. 

It's believed to have happened sometime between 5.20pm and 6pm on Monday (26 April) on the fields belonging to St Charles' Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy, just off The Carriage Drive.
