The attack happened near Coney Hill RFC in Gloucester

Police are looking for two women after a man was bitten on the arm by a dog near a rugby club.

Officers were called to Metz Way, near Coney Hill Rugby Club in Gloucester, at around midday on Tuesday 1 April.

A man was left with a puncture wound and significant swelling and bruising after the attack by a dog described as black and white and the size of a Labrador.

Gloucestershire Police said the dog was being walked on a lead by two women who they want to speak to.

One woman spoke to the man to apologise but did not pass on any details, police said.

One is described as being older, with short grey hair, while the other is believed to be in her mid-20s, with black hair and of a slim build.

Police would also like to speak with anyone who saw what happened.
