A 36-year-old man has been arrested following a dangerous dog incident in Maldon last month.

This morning (September 13) Essex Police officers arrested a man on suspicion of "allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control". 

Officers were called to Lancaster Avenue on August 5, following reports of a dog lunging at a member of the public while off a lead.

The member of the public, a man, sustained minor injuries to his hand and thigh.

A dog, which is believed to have been involved, has been seized by police.

Enquiries are still ongoing.
