Police are appealing for information after a 14-year-old girl was bitten by an "out of control" dog in an East Sussex park.

The attack happened in Gensing Gardens, near Charles Road in St Leonards, at about 09:45 BST on Wednesday 29 May, according to Sussex Police.

The girl suffered a minor injury to her arm from the dog, described as "a medium size, brown and white, pitbull-type breed" which was on a rope lead and referred to by its owner as Panda.

Police are keen to speak to the dog's owner, who they say is a slim man in his 20s or 30s, and about 5ft 7ins.
