A Queensland Police dog has been injured during the arrest of a man at Morayfield.
Police say that just before 1pm yesterday, officers responded to a Morayfield address following reports a man had allegedly breached a domestic violence order.
“A man fled the address and attempted to enter an alleged stolen vehicle when he was confronted by a Police Dog Squad handler and Police Dog Beau,” Police said in a statement.
“The man, who was allegedly aggressive and non-compliant with police, ran from the scene with PD Beau giving chase.
“It will be alleged the man fought and assaulted PD Beau, including by putting him in a headlock, punching and striking him.”
PD Beau’s handler deployed a Taser and the man was handcuffed and taken into custody shortly after.
The injured Police Dog required veterinary treatment for an eye laceration.
A 31-year-old man, bitten during his interactions with PD Beau, was transported to hospital for treatment to a dog bite, where he currently remains.
The Morayfield man has been charged with a total of 24 offences including injuring a police dog, contravening a domestic violence order and serious assault of a police officer.
He was charged with several other offences including enter premises and commit indictable offence, burglary and robbery.
The man remains in police custody and is expected to appear before Caboolture Magistrates Court at a later date.
