TV baker Paul Hollywood has made a plea for information after his brother was apparently kicked in the head after a row with another dog walker when their pets barked at each other. | |
The Great British Bake Off judge said his brother Lee - who is also a baker - was the victim of an attack in Leasowe, Wirral, at about 19:00 BST on Friday. | |
Merseyside Police said a man in his 50s was punched and then kicked in the face in the "nasty, unprovoked assault". | |
The second man "became irate" after separating the animals, attacking the other dog walker as he walked away from Links View Playing Fields, the force said. | |

Det Insp Phil Ryan also appealed for anyone who saw the attack, or a man leaving the area, to come forward. | |
