A 40 year old man is being treated for life-threatening injuries following a dog attack at a home yesterday.

At approximately 11:50 pm, February 21, 2020 officers were called to the home where it was reported the attack was occurring. Members of the Air Support Unit were able spot the attack from the air and responding ground units arrived to find the male suffering from injuries and still being attacked by the two, large breed dogs. Both dogs then began to aggressively advance toward the officers who were forced to discharge their service weapons and stop the threat.

The 40 year old man was transported to hospital by Medavie Health Services.

The dogs are deceased.

The incident will be reviewed in accordance with policy.
