DOG SHOT DEAD AFTER MAN AND POLICE OFFICER BITTEN
Police firearms officers have shot a dog dead after it bit two people and escaped from a house.
The Akita breed attacked a man at a property on Hope Street, York, at 11:24 BST on Tuesday.
North Yorkshire Police tried to "contain" the dog but it escaped and started running loose on nearby streets.
A police officer was also bitten while trying to capture the animal.
The dog was then destroyed to "bring the incident to a safe conclusion" and protect the public.
The two victims are receiving treatment in hospital while an investigation is underway.
