An aggressive dog has been destroyed after it seriously injured three others.
Police were called to Faversham to reports of an unaccompanied mongrel attacking dogs at random.
Officers tracked down the owner, who consented to having the animal put down by a vet.
A police spokesman said today: "It is reported that these incidents happened in Wildish Road, Everard Way and Bysing Wood Road between 5pm and 7pm on Thursday.
"It is said that the dogs' injuries required treatment at a veterinary surgery.
"Police officers located the owner of the dog that was reported to have attacked the other dogs, who consented to the animal being destroyed by a vet.
"The owners of the injured dogs and the dog wardens at Swale Borough Council were updated.
"There will be no further police action in the matter."
