A DOG attacked a mum and her two young children, one of which was a baby in a pushchair, as cops release CCTV of a man they want to speak to.
The dog reportedly jumped up at the mother and scratched her back before knocking over the pushchair and injuring the baby.
The baby hit its head and was left with a lump and a graze on its forehead.
The mother was walking with her children in Leicester on September 5 at around 6.30pm when a dog approached them off its lead.
