A cyclist’s life was turned upside down when a dog clamped its jaws around her leg after being slapped by its owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The woman was riding with a friend along a bike path when they had to stop to avoid colliding with a mother and her child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A man with brown Staffy Bullmastiff-type dogs approached them shortly after, accusing them of almost knocking down his child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the woman, he then slapped one of the animals on the head, causing it to bite her leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to report, it remained attached for several minutes, causing her serious injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was taken to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary with a potentially fatal leg injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this time, no arrests have been made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police say they now need to identify and speak with the dog walker as part of their ongoing investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is described as white, 5ft 9ins to 5ft 10ins tall, with a slim build and short brown hair on the back and sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was not wearing a top and was thought to be in his early 30s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
