Callers reported to authorities that the individual inside had a large dog with him and noted that the dog was roaming free in the building.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon arrival, officers said they located the suspect outside the store. According to authorities, the man was initially cooperating and provided identifying information.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Officials say they learned that the individual had two outstanding arrest warrants.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At some point, officials note that the person became uncooperative and attempted to walk away despite multiple warnings that he was under arrest, according to police.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Authorities say that the suspect used his dog and a skateboard to resist arrest. According to the Brooklyn Center Police, he used his skateboard to block officers and avoid getting tased.<\/p>\n
Officials say that a Taser was deployed six times, and officers used 40 mm less-lethal rounds in an attempt to arrest the individual. The suspect was eventually restrained.<\/p>\n
During the struggle, authorities say the dog attacked two officers, prompting another officer to discharge a firearm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Officials report that a gunshot struck the dog, who ran away but was located later a short distance away. \u00a0Authorities say the dog was taken to an emergency veterinary clinic, where the dog died despite life-saving efforts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two officers, who sustained injuries from the dog attack, received appropriate treatment and are expected to return to duty, officials say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to police, the suspect was taken to a local hospital for an evaluation and then booked into jail on outstanding warrants and additional charges regarding the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two officers were attacked by a dog during an arrest in Brooklyn Center, prompting another officer to discharge…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":218468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-218467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
