TWO dogs jumped up at a woman and ripped her clothing during an incident on a Newport canal path.

A 46-year-old woman was walking her dogs along the path between Malpas Brook and Kimberley Park from 7pm to 8pm on Sunday, August 17 when a man rode past her on a bike with two black and tan Doberman dogs off leads.

The man is described as being white, aged between 28 and 30, of muscular build and with short brown hair. He was wearing a grey hooded jumper.
