Coventry Cops Taser Rampaging Dog in Milverton Road Chaos
Coventry police were called to Milverton Road after reports of a pack of dogs fighting violently. On arrival, officers faced a ferocious dog threatening people nearby, including children.
Officers Use Taser to Save Public and Pup
Worried for public safety and the animals’ welfare, police stunned the out-of-control dog with a Taser to stop it from causing serious harm. Rumours on social media claimed the dog was hit by a police car or killed – both false. The dog survived.
Dog Locked in Wheelie Bin for Safety
To keep everyone safe and gain control, officers temporarily placed the aggressive dog in a wheelie bin. This unusual move kept the dog calm and prevented further attacks while they sorted the mess.
Dangerous Dogs Unit Steps In
The Dangerous Dogs Unit later seized the dog. It was thoroughly checked by a vet and is now secure in police kennels, receiving proper care. Meanwhile, a man was arrested at the scene for obstructing police and questioned on July 12.
Investigation Continues – Police Urge Caution on Rumours
Coventry Police are still investigating the incident to uncover exactly what sparked the attack. They emphasise the importance of accurate information and warn against spreading false rumours online.
“The priority is protecting the community while minimising harm to both people and animals,” a spokesperson said.
People with relevant information are urged to come forward and help police piece together the full story behind the Milverton Road dog drama.
