The victim, who is in his mid-thirties, went to a west London hospital and was treated for minor injuries. He reported the matter to police on 26 June.

Officers from Kingston borough interviewed Ms Settimo on Wednesday, 23 August. Alfie was assessed by officers from the Status Dog Unit who have approved his return and Ms. Settimo was required to sign an acceptable behaviour contract as a condition of the return of her dog.
