A dog walker was left needing stitches after being hit in the face and head with a tin of pet food in a Derbyshire town.
The victim was walking his dog along Station Road, Hadfield, at about 9pm on July 9 when he was challenged by a man who told him the pet was not under control.
After a brief verbal argument, the offender took out a tin of dog food from a carrier bag and hit the victim repeatedly to the face and head.
The 48-year-old victim needed several stitches to a cut on his face and staples to a gash on his head.
The offender was white, about 6ft tall, of stocky build and aged between 25 and 30. He had short, blond hair and a beard at the time.
He was wearing a white shirt with blue or red pinstripes, dark jeans and dark canvas shoes with white soles. He was also wearing a red pair of Beats by Dre headphones.
Police want to hear from anyone who recognises the description of the offender or who may have witnessed the assault.
