A TWENTY-TWO-YEAR-OLD man has appeared in court after a delivery driver was bitten in a dog attack.

Declan Twist, of Pentland Avenue, Parr, went before Liverpool, Knowsley and St Helens Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, August 25, charged with being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog causing injury.

Merseyside Police said the incident happened at around 3pm on Wednesday, April 22.

A police spokeswoman said they received a report of a delivery driver being bitten several times on the arm by a German Shepherd while at an address on Pentland Avenue.

Twist, 22, indicated a guilty plea to the charge.

The case was adjourned as the court ordered a pre-sentence report to be prepared.

The defendant is due to next appear before the magistrates' court to be sentenced on October 7.

He was granted unconditional bail until then.
