Police officers have released an image of a man they want to speak to after a woman was kicked in the leg on the Racecourse in Northampton on Christmas Day (December 25).

The incident took place at 1pm when a woman and her family were walking their pet dog in the park and they were approached by a German Shepherd dog. The dog was not on a lead and became aggressive.
