A KEIGHLEY man was arrested this morning after police received reports of people being bitten by a dangerous dog in the area.
The man, who has been released under investigation while enquiries continue, was arrested on suspicion of owning a dog dangerously out of control, after two separate reports of people being bitten by a dog in the Lawkholme Lane area were made to police.
Officers later seized two large-breed dogs from an address in the town.
