A WHITEHAVEN postman has had his finger end nipped off by a dog as he tried to make Christmas deliveries.

Whitehaven police were called when a resident of Coronation Drive in Whitehaven discovered a finger tip among all his Christmas cards on the hall floor.

PC Mick Taylor said: “I first checked with casualty at the hospital and they had no reports of anyone having suffered a finger injury. Then I checked with the postal sorting office manager and it was discovered that a postperson had had his finger end bitten off by a dog.â€
