Police are investigating after a man was bitten by a dog and assaulted in an early-morning argument in Denny.
A 40-year-old man was walking his dogs in the woods near Wallace Crescent at 07:10 on Sunday when he became involved in a dispute with another dog walker.
The victim was assaulted by the man and bitten by his dog, which was a tan-coloured Boxer type dog.
The suspect was 5ft 8in (1.72m) tall, in his late 30s or early 40s, and was wearing a red shirt and dark trousers.
He spoke with an Aberdeenshire or Inverness accent and had short grey hair. Officers have appealed for information.
