A five-year-old boy was left needing hospital treatment after being attacked by three dogs, police have revealed.

The boy suffered puncture wounds in the attack in Balfour Road, Doncaster, on 7 October, South Yorkshire Police said.

Officers said it was thought the dogs' owner did not try to get them under control and he then left the scene.

The owner, described as white, between 6ft (1.8m) and 6ft 2ins (1.9m) tall, and aged between 30 and 40, has been urged to contact police.

He was wearing a long green coat and light green combat trousers at the time, officers added.

Anyone who saw what happened, or who has information about the attack, has also been asked to contact the South Yorkshire force.
