Man Arrested After Police Dog Attack During Migrant Operation
A man has been arrested after being attacked by a police dog during a law-enforcement operation involving suspected migrants, prompting renewed debate over the use of police animals in crowd control and border enforcement.
The incident occurred during an early-morning police operation when officers attempted to detain a group of individuals believed to have entered the area unlawfully. According to authorities, the man attempted to flee the scene and ignored repeated commands to stop. A police dog was then deployed to assist officers in making the arrest.
Witnesses reported chaotic scenes as the dog seized the man, who was brought to the ground before being restrained by officers. Paramedics were later called to treat bite injuries, which police said were non-life-threatening. The man was taken into custody and remains under investigation for immigration-related offences and resisting arrest.
Police defended the use of the dog, stating that it was deployed in accordance with operational guidelines and only after other methods to detain the suspect failed. A spokesperson said the dog was used “to prevent further escape and to ensure the safety of officers and members of the public.”
However, the incident has sparked criticism from migrant rights groups, who argue that the use of police dogs against vulnerable individuals is excessive and potentially traumatic. Campaigners have called for greater oversight and clearer rules on the deployment of dogs during immigration enforcement, particularly where individuals may be unarmed and frightened.
Legal experts note that police dogs are classed as a use of force and must meet strict standards of necessity and proportionality. Any injuries caused are subject to internal review and, in some cases, independent investigation.
The case remains ongoing, and police have confirmed that a routine review of the dog’s deployment is underway. Further details are expected to be released as inquiries continue.
