An eyewitness, who saw the aftermath of the attack, said: "Honestly, it was horrific, the dog was covered in blood - the lady must be in a pretty bad way.
"Paramedics couldn't get to the injured lady because of the dog - a guy had pinned the dog to the floor for a good 20 minutes before the police turned up."
That 20 minutes must have felt like a lifetime.
Officers tried to secure the dog safely, but because of the risk it posed to the public, it was destroyed.
This pussyfooting around trying to avoid doing what needs to be done in these cases is going to get someone killed before long. When are our police going to grow some balls and stop listening to the ‘Aww, don’t shoot the poor doggie!’ crowd?

Can this assisted dying debate please include feral dogs, and their owners?

Shoot the owner too?
Anyone living in South Africa before 1990 and experienced in Rhodesian Ridgebacks, dobermans etc would know that you don't just "pin them down" but you take hold of the airpipe and squeeze until the dog passes out. Then you would hopefully find a brick or something similar to crush its skull.
When Derek Chauvin tried to deal with a rabid pitbull called George, the whole world went mad and Derek got sent down. Probably a lesson to be learned there...
The estate I was working on today there was a beast that looked like a cross between a Great Dane and one of the evil ones. If it had gotten into it's head to attack anyone, the scrawny smacked had no chance of restraining it. I was in the van, so at least I was safe.
