A MAN has appeared in court after his dog bit a postman as he tried to deliver parcels.

Andrew Kelly, of Brougham Road in Marsden, was before Huddersfield magistrates yesterday.

The court heard that the dog – a German Shepherd named Hector – attacked postman Edward Green while he was at work in the area.

They were told that Kelly, 42, had tied his dog to a piece of trellis outside his home.


But when he saw the postman, the pet broke free and lunged towards him.

He backed Mr Green up against a wall and bit him on his arm and thigh.

Magistrates were told that the postman was bleeding quite heavily and had to be treated in hospital.

Kelly denies the allegation of allowing the animal to be dangerously out of control.

He will next appear before the court on January 3 for a trial.

Kelly was granted unconditional bail.

Would hope that the RMC newshound brother Teebs has penned the 3rd January 2012 into his calender.

Most assuredly . This is a satellite office of ours and since the attack at least 3 more posties have had run ins with canines recently. I don't know if its just bad luck but we seem to suffering a spate of them over the last year, one bloke according to the managers lost part of 2 fingers but I never saw any news items about it so could not post it. The attacks certainly seem on the increase though.

Nothing to do with getting out later, being out for longer and being more tired and making silly mistakes.......then
