Widely-circulated mobile phone footage appears to show Andy Cash, a traveller, on the floor with a police dog clamped to his leg.
Police had been called to an alleged theft in Birmingham on Monday when the incident happened.
A theft? Get out!
There has been no complaint but the matter has been referred to the police watchdog, West Midlands Police said.
*quiet chuckle*
He said he may need to undergo more surgery after sustaining about six wounds in total after the dog "mutilated" his leg.
His wife added: "They let that dog eat my husband like a bone. It was a treat for the dog."
I hope the poor thing is up to date on its shots.

Some treat chewing on a Pikey.
"Traveller?", "Theft?". Surely a coincidence.

Why not allow your hatred of Pikey trash to blind you to the more serious issue of plod-dogs being trained to hunt and to viciously attack folk?
MTG, (More Trash Gash), typical leftard comment. Like Muslim folk, not all travellers are thieves, benefit cheat and so on. However, a very large number of them are parasitic, anything goes, whats yours is mine feckless and illiterate scavengers. The foot soldiers in training of the leftard Mad Max future, getting ever closer. Give me those dogs to protect mine any day.
The Police dog was on the leash the whole time, as far as the video shows. In other words the dog WAS under control. What is most important is why the dog-handler permitted the dog to continue to attack.
In law, a Police Officer (and that includes dogs) can only apply that degree of force which is necessary to achieve their objective, ie the subjucation of an assailant, after which the application of force must cease.
I would dearly love to see the video of this incident taken before the section shown in the press has been publicised.
Was there a weapon? Was a definite threat of harm to anyone made?
I'll bet the dug still cant get the taste out it's mouth
That reflected very badly on the dog handler and on Police dog training. Trying to pull the dog away while it had its jaws clamped onto the blokes leg would have made the injury worse. A Police dog that doesn't "leave" when commanded shouldn't be anywhere near the public.

They aren't. They are trained to track, and to hold.
"What is most important is why the dog-handler permitted the dog to continue to attack."
Well, it's been referred to the IPCC, so I suppose we'll find out.
