A man has been taken to hospital with serious injuries after a dog attack on a North East housing estate this evening (Tuesday, October 3).
The accounts were horrific on social media, with people reporting he needed 40 minutes of CPR (and some reporting he's died). Police turned up ready for this one at least:
Police have confirmed the dog was destroyed at the scene "to ensure the safety of the public" following the incident Maple Terrace, Shiney Row.
Or to assuage their consciences, perhaps?
It won't be the first time lack of prompt action has caused a far worse problem. And until they start treating these attacks and the precusors to them seriously, it won't be the last, either.
He has just died. So another killing down to Plods incompetence.
ReplyDeleteNot Plod's incompetence. More like incompetence by the numpties in government. In cases like this, shoot the dog. Then shoot the owner.

"He has just died. So another killing down to Plods incompetence."
ReplyDeleteYes, and even before that awful news came in, his character was being assassinated on social media by people spreading the rumour that he'd attempted a burglary at the house.🙄
"Not Plod's incompetence."
How not, Penseivat? The animals were well known and complained about. With, once again, no police action taken. They have as much blood on their hands as the wretched owner.
