“If a dog bites a man, this is not news. Rather, if a man bites a dog, this is the news.” The 34-year-old is 8 months old after being bitten by a police dog while resisting arrest.
Humberside police were trying to arrest Matthew after assaulting 3 people in the Grimpsey area, but he resisted arrest and a police officer punched and kicked him in the face and body.

According to the police, Matthew pleaded guilty to six crimes, most notably causing unnecessary suffering to a pet, assaulting an emergency services worker, as well as previous criminal damages and battery and intentional wounding. This necessitated an eight-month prison sentence valid for the accused.
According to the “BBC” website, Detective Thomas Crossville said that assaulting police dogs is an attack on emergency service workers and police, which is completely unacceptable and police dogs are an integral part of the police family.

As for the dog, he was slightly injured and returned to work the next day. The dog “Zander” is one of the most beloved police dogs, as it was nominated in 2021 for the Police Courage Award, as it effectively contributed to the arrest of an armed criminal during the year. It is expected that this incident will cause him to be nominated for the award.
