Police seek mountain biker accused of attacking dog walker in Burlington

A man on a bike accompanied by two dogs allegedly attacked another man and his dog who were walking around the Mill Pond Reservoir in Burlington on Tuesday morning.

Around 9:30 a.m., Burlington police received a report that someone attacked a 69-year-old man who was walking his dog in the area, a release noted. A confrontation between the men’s dogs allegedly spurred the incident.

The accused perpetrator also beat the man’s dog, resulting in seriously injury, according to the report given to police.
