A beagle suffered chest injuries after being attacked by another dog in Main Road, Kesgrave.

The incident happened between 10.50pm and 11.05pm Wednesday, July 14, between Dr Watson's Lane and the Ropes Drive roundabout.

A man was out walking his dog, a beagle, when another dog reportedly ran towards him and attacked it. It suffered injuries to its chest before the owner was able to separate the animals.
