Star Lane in Canning Town was shut in both directions between Manor Road and Durham Road at around 5am on Wednesday, September 9, with forensic teams seen working at the scene. A shopkeeper claimed the incident involved an elderly man who died after being bitten on the hand by a dog.
And yet, unlike the incident in Yorkshire, which quickly generated police appeals to the public and has resulted in a man being charges in short order, there's been little in the news - the 'Mail' has found a juicier story to worry like a bone from across the pond.
He said: "A customer had a large dog which went for the man’s small dog.
It will be interesting to find out the breed, when - or if - he's evetually caught.
Another shopkeeper said the man had been walking his small dog home from the park when the incident occurred.
A lot of shopkeepers in this area - did no-one have a suggrstion as to who the mystery man might bre, perhaps a regular customer? Even Facebook has no commentd on th teo stories they have up.
Hsve we become so used to the threat it's no longer newsworthy?
