The owner of two “dangerous” loose dogs, one of which tried to bite a man and another dog, is wanted by police.

The animals, described by South Yorkshire Police as bulls, approached a man who was walking his dog in a field behind the allotments on Avenue Road in Wath Upon Dearne, Rotherham, on Wednesday 6 November.

One of the dogs, described as white and large with brown spots, tried to bite the man and the pet, according to officers.

Police said they wanted to trace the owner of the dogs or anyone who knew the whereabouts of the animals since the incident.
