"This is an active criminal investigation and anyone with information – including mobile or CCTV footage – is asked to contact police online or by calling 101 quoting Operation Byfleet,” a spokesperson said.

The attack took place on Friday, August 18, when two Rottweilers attacked a 77-year-old man who was walking his dog near Lewes Close. Both dogs were killed by armed police officers soon afterwards, but the man was sent to hospital with serious injuries.
