Horror as woman mauled by two dogs before cops Taser and arrest man for ‘assault’ and destroy both animals
A WOMAN has been mauled by two “out of control dogs” before cops arrested a man and destroyed both animals.
The woman was viciously attacked by the dogs in Tower Hamlets, London, Sunday evening.
Tower Hamlets Police released a statement reading: “Officers attended the location where the aggressive behaviour or two dogs was of considerable concern and posed a significant threat to them.”
The clip shows a group of officers near a man with two dogs, when suddenly they lunge towards the officers, resulting in the dog being shot.
The owner then tries to flee, before being tased and restrained, while the surviving dog panics in the chaos.
After the second surviving dog tried to lunge towards another officer, it seems the police shot it as well.
The dog owner was arrested after the harrowing incident, with the police saying: “A man was arrested in connection with the incident for having a dog dangerously out of control and assault offences. A taser was discharged by police.
“No person was taken to hospital. Both dogs were destroyed by police at the scene. This is never an easy decision for any officer to take, but police have a duty to act where necessary before any further injury is caused.”
The clip will be reviewed by the Metropolitan Police‘s Directorate of Professional Standards.
The clip has sparked outrage online, with many calling it cruel and too aggressive.
