Police are trying to trace a number of drivers who may have witnessed an incident in Stevenage where a woman was left “shaken up” by a passing man and his dog.
At around 10.35am on Saturday, May 23, a woman in her 40s was walking along Gresley Way when a man walking a dog approached in the opposite direction.
The dog jumped up at the woman, and as the man passed, he attempted to grab the woman’s headphones from behind, but was unsuccessful.
Three vehicles reportedly stopped before the man took his dog and walked off. The woman was “uninjured but left shaken”.
The man is described as a black male, around 5ft 7in tall, with a beard. He was wearing a black T-shirt and black jogging bottoms.
