A FURIOUS dad whose young son still lives in terror nearly a year after a dog attack has blasted alleged police inaction over such incidents.

He spoke out as New figures revealed there have been 14 dog attacks reported across Keighley in the past two years, but not one conviction.

Restaurateur Mastab Ali said his son Adil, now 10, was still too scared to go into Keighley’s Lund Park where he was chased and bitten by a dog last year.

The Holycroft Primary School pupil needed treatment at Airedale Hospital.

Mr Ali, 40, said: “After the incident we heard nothing more from the police. I feel angry and sad that these crimes are taking place but that nothing seems to be done.”

Community campaigner Fulzar Ali said: “There needs to be a review of the situation to ensure that if a complaint is made it is thoroughly and properly investigated.”

Keighley-based Sgt Chris Watson said: “Each dog attack is treated according to its individual circumstances, and incidents where serious injuries have occurred, or the dog could be considered to pose a risk to the public, are always taken seriously.”

He said that of the 14 attacks, police have taken action against suspects in 10 cases, with four people summonsed to appear in court, four dealt with by way of a community resolution, and two instances where suspects were identified but the victim chose not to proceed with prosecution.
