A cyclist was reportedly bitten by a dog then assaulted by a man while riding along a towpath.
The victim had been riding alongside the canal by Lavrock Lane, Croxley Green, at around 11am on Thursday, September 10.
He was bitten on the calf by the small dog near Common Moor Lock before a row with a man on a boat ensued. The cyclist was reportedly assaulted during this.

“Since the incident was reported, we’ve visited the area several times to try and trace a suspect, who reportedly speaks with an English accent, but have so far had no luck.
