Belfast: Dogs Tasered after attack on woman

Police have used a Taser on two dogs in north Belfast after a woman was bitten on her lower leg.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said they received a report of “aggressive” dogs in Upper Canning Street before 16:50 BST on Monday.

When officers arrived the dogs were fighting and a woman had been bitten.

Police said the dogs were “posing a danger to the public” and they therefore used a Conducted Energy Device (CED) on them “to prevent further attacks”.

A PSNI spokesperson said the Police Ombudsman has been informed and enquiries continue on behalf of Belfast City Council’s Dog Warden.

In a statement, Belfast City Council said: “Our Dog Wardens attended an incident in north Belfast on Monday 28 October.

“We are continuing to investigate this incident, and cannot comment further while our investigation is ongoing.”

Conducted Energy Devices fire two small dart-like electrodes before delivering a high-voltage shock to temporarily disable the person or animal they are aimed at.

This allows officers to deal with danger at a distance.

The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
