Police are appealing for the owner of two dogs that attacked a 10-year-old boy to come forward.
The boy was walking with his mother in Abbot’s Wood, near Polegate, on 26 May when he was bitten on his legs, Sussex Police said.
The dogs’ owner is said to have fled the area after the attack, which happened shortly after 14:30 BST.
Insp Anthony Oakensen said the boy was recovering at home after hospital treatment and that officers encouraged the woman involved to come forward.
The owner of the dogs is described as having blonde hair tied in a ponytail and wearing a light coloured top and black leggings, police said.
The dogs are possibly small terriers, Jack Russell’s or Patterdales and one is thought to be named Molly, the force added.
Insp Oakensen said: “This was a distressing incident for the child and his mum.
“We are exploring a number of lines of inquiry.”
Anyone who witnessed the incident is urged to contact the force.
