A businessman whose dog caused a deer stampede in a Royal Park which left a young boy with a broken rib and a head injury, has been fined more than £800.

Finn Schioldan's dog got off the lead and chased a deer into a father and three children on bikes. A judge was told how, in an attempt to get away from the Rhodesian Ridgeback, one of the animals tried to leap over the family but struck the youngest child, leaving him with a fractured rib and a head injury.

The youngster had to be taken to hospital after the incident. Wimbledon Magistrates' Court heard today how the 52-year-old, who rakes in £10,500 each month as client director at software firm Servicenow, had taken his son and pet for a walk at the park on January 17.
