A man has taken to social media to warn members of the public after claiming that he was dragged out of his vehicle by a man who said he was going to steal his dog.
Martyn Colegate posted on Facebook saying:
“At 5pm tonight (Tuesday 9th February), I was pulled out of my 4×4 by a man in his 40’s at Trellech Common, stating that he was taking my dog!”
“He hit me twice in the face, whilst I was on the floor and then he went to open the door to get my dog out!
“I managed to get up and after a fight, he drove off in a Black Hard Top Ford Ranger.
“Unfortunately I didn’t get the number plate. My dog is safe and the Police have been informed. The person was in his 40s and about 6ft, slim build and had short dark hair. He was wearing Blue Jeans and a Green Camouflage Top.
“I have a lovely swollen right cheek bone but I can guarantee that he is so much worse off.
“This could have been a woman and their dog would have been gone. Please be careful, Male or Female, please don’t walk your dog on your own, anywhere!”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Gwent Police on 101.
