"Sure, I like dags. I like caravans more."

A police officer made a "racially inflamed comment" moments before his dog bit a traveller, a court has heard.

Goodness me!

A jury at Birmingham Crown Court was shown CCTV of the moment the 50-year-old's dog bit Andrew Cash's leg.

I hope they served popcorn!

Mr Shaw told jurors the racially aggravated part of the charge related to a word used by PC Birch when he called for back-up.

"It is the prosecution's case that this was a racially inflamed comment," Mr Shaw said.

I think we can all guess, can't we?
