The boy, who was with his mother at the time, sustained a puncture mark and bruising to his arm in the incident, Northumbria Police said.
He went to hospital for treatment and was later discharged.
Officers are investigating and have released CCTV images of a man they would like to trace.
The incident happened on the Metro travelling between Benton and Palmersville stations.
Northumbria Police said the man was “in the area at the time” the boy was reportedly bitten.
The force believe he may be able to assist with their enquiries and have asked him to come forward.
Cops have also urged anyone with information to get in touch immediately.
A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said: “Officers are hoping to identify a man as they investigate a report that a child was bitten by a dog while on a Metro train.
“The man was in the area at the time the boy is reported to have been bitten by the dog, and officers believe he may be able to assist with their enquiries.
“The man, or anyone who knows who he is, should send Northumbria Police a direct message on social media, or use the live chat function on the Force website.”
For those unable to contact the force via those ways, call 101.
