Police have released shocking CCTV footage that shows a famous YouTuber's 'dangerously out of control' dog launch a savage attack on a neighbour.



The video shows the victim leaving the house after she stopped by to pick up a parcel.



The dog, a German Shepherd named Tank, speeds out of the house and, while the victim tries to bat it off, it bites her repeatedly in the thigh.

The gates then open and the victim attempts to get away as 53-year-old Olayinka Olatunji, the mum of YouTube star Deji, tries to keep it under control.



However, the dog can then be seen launching a second attack on the victim just off-camera.

Earlier this week, 23-year-old Oladeji Olatunji, known as Deji, was sentenced after allowing his dog to be dangerously out of control in a public place.



Along with his mother Olayinka, Deji, who has over 9 million subscribers on his YouTube account, admitted dangerous dog offences after Tank attacked the victim.



The victim suffered a range of injuries as a result of the incident on July 23 last year, including multiple puncture wounds, extensive bruising and scratches to her legs and chest.



She was also twice admitted to hospital after her wounds became swollen and infected.







Speaking about how the incident unfolded, presiding judge David Farrell QC said during sentencing at Cambridge Crown Court on Tuesday (December 17): "The events that gave rise to the charges occurred outside your home involving your Alsatian dog who was 13 months old at the time.



"He came out your home and attacked your neighbour who was led into your driveway area to pick up a parcel.



"Jennifer had therefore been invited in and as she was about to leave, the automatic gates closed, trapping her in the driveway area while your dog, Tank, escaped and then viciously attacked her.



"It's clear from the CCTV that was operating in the area from your premises that the dog was completely out of control and you, Olayinka, were totally unable to exercise any control over him."



Deji Olatunji was ordered to pay a fine of £2,500, while his mother was given a 12-month community order and ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work.



Deji was also ordered to pay £5,845 and Olayinka £2,082.50 for kennel costs to keep Tank "pending destruction" and £340 costs each.



Olayinka was also ordered to pay an additional £8,000 in compensation to the victim.
