Police say the man and dog continued on without any conversation with the woman, who was taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

The man is described as white, in his 20s, five-foot-five, with a slim build, blonde short hair and was carrying a guitar.

The dog is described as a muscular “pit bull” with a solid reddish-brown colour and police want the owner to come forward with the animal’s vaccination records.
