Police have identified a man after a dangerous dog incident in an Essex city yesterday morning.

Officers were called to outside the Co-op Havengore in Springfield, Chelmsford, at around 7.40am yesterday (March 2) after reports of a dog being attacked by another dog.

The injured dog, a small cockapoo has been taken to the vets with serious injuries.

The other dog involved, a suspected Staffordshire bull terrier, was then stopped by their owner who left the scene.

A dog has been seized and a man will be voluntarily interviewed in due course.

An Essex Police spokesman said: "Thank you to everyone who shared our appeal."
