The dangerous breed, which is facing a ban later this year, has been involved in a spate of incidents in 2023.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pledged to clampdown on the XL Bully breed last month, adding: “It's clear this is not about a handful of badly trained dogs, it's a pattern of behaviour and it cannot go on.”

Cheshire Police is now urging witnesses to come forward following the event from last Tuesday.

PC Victoria Taylor said: “I understand this may cause concern in the community and we are working hard to try and locate the dog and its owner.

"Witnesses also said there were some school children filming the incident.

“I’d urge anyone with footage of the attack to contact me.”

Anyone with information should contact Cheshire police on 101 or via the website quoting occurrence number 23001059199.
