A disturbing scene unfolded in Philadelphia – where a police officer had to shoot one of the dogs after a pack of dogs started mauling a poor man on the street in broad daylight.
This disturbing footage is circulating online – and it shows the beginning, middle, and end of a recent violent incident in the City of Brotherly Love… where at least 4 dogs got loose and charged at a man. Started attacking, all of which was captured on camera.
It’s unclear why exactly this happened… but the video begins by showing the dogs being walked on the sidewalk, where a police car is already present and observing the situation.
The person making the recording claims that one of the dogs – 3 of which were pit bulls – had apparently attacked someone else… and before you know it, they all went after another person – across the street. Crossing a man, going after. Who is surrounded by them and thrown to the ground.
As he tries to stop them, all the dogs begin biting him, and others also try to come to his aid, but to no avail – at which point, the officer gets out of his car and cautions. Proceeds from.
There are people nearby who are pleading for the policeman to fire his gun – and eventually he does, hitting the biggest dog… which runs away and falls to the ground.
Philly PD says the officer who did this has been placed on administrative leave, and he first tried to use his siren to distract the animals. The dog that died was actually a Cane Corso – and three other pitbulls fled the scene. There is no information about his whereabouts.
Police say the man who was attacked had multiple bite wounds all over his body and was taken to the hospital in stable condition. The officers themselves were also fine.
