A man and woman were walking towards them with two dogs, one of which was not on a lead.

The dog ran towards the victim, who accidentally trod on its paw.

He apologised to the couple but the man allegedly headbutted him hard in the face, causing a significant cut to his upper lip which required stitches.

Anyone with information should call Derbyshire police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
