Emergency services rushed to a Bryndwr home in Christchurch on Saturday afternoon after several people were attacked by dogs at a Bevin Place address, leaving three injured.

Police, ambulances and council animal management officers responded to the incident shortly before 2.45pm, where paramedics treated victims at the scene before transporting two people to hospital — one in critical condition and another seriously injured — while a third person received minor treatment.

Police confirmed the two dogs involved were quickly restrained and would be removed from the property.

  1. Hopefully they start taking the dog owners in and holding them accountable. Most people manage to have reasonably social dogs – assuming some one wasn’t trespassing where they shouldn’t have been.

  2. What a wonderfully detailed poolice report, satisfying our time to read what sort of dogs were involved, what sort of people were the owners, and what sort of injuries occurred.

  3. Can’t carry a firearm? Then get a knife.
    Can’t carry a knife as part of your parole, then get a cricket bat.
    Don’t play cricket? then…
    Get a 4-legged biological weapon as a ‘force multiplier’ in the form of a Staffey-cross, Pitbull, or Mastiff.
    These are the breeds that should be outlawed and destroyed based on their biology and impulsiveness to kill.
    But, again, the breed of dogs and the ethnicity of the people that own them are conveniently left out of the Police Report / article…
