Guelph police report a man had his nose broken by a stranger while walking his dog early Saturday.

Just before 9 a.m. police were called to the area of Eramosa Road and Victoria Road North. A man said he was walking his dog when he saw another man standing on the corner yelling and swearing. The victim said he tried to avoid the man, who nonetheless approached and punched him in the face.

The victim was observed to have a bloody nose, and further assessment at the hospital confirmed it was broken.

The suspect is described as white, in his 30s, five-foot-11, with a stocky build. He was balding with dirty blonde unkempt hair and beard and possibly a birth mark on his left cheek. He was wearing a dirty blue jacket, grey pants and white shoes.
