Police are appealing for witnesses following a dog bite incident in Spencer’s Wood.

The incident occurred on Sunday 15 March 2026 between 11:30 and 11:40 GMT on Lambs Lane, outside a local tractor hire unit. A female victim reported that a dog she encountered bit her on the right ankle, causing a serious injury that tore a chunk of skin.

The dog walker involved is described as a white woman, aged between her mid-60s and early 70s, around 5ft tall with a slight build, wearing a long dark coat. The dog is said to be small and black. Witnesses reported that the woman continued walking without apologising after the bite.

Police have urged anyone who saw the incident or has any information to come forward. They can contact Thames Valley Police on 101 or use the online reporting platform, quoting crime reference number 43260127271.

A spokesperson said: “Even small details can help us identify those involved and prevent further incidents.”
