Two dogs had to be Tasered by police when they started fighting while out on a walk with their owner.

The ‘Staffy type’ dogs, who were both on leads, started attacking each other during an evening walk with their owner through Moss Side.

Officers were called to Sedgeborough Road just before 9pm on Tuesday (February 5) following reports of two dogs were fighting, police confirmed.

When officers arrived they decided that the only way to separate the pets was to use a police taser.

The animals were then seized by police under the Dangerous Dogs Act ‘in order to keep the owner and public safe’.

Nobody was arrested during the incident however investigations are ongoing.

A post on the GMP Longsight anjnd Moss Side Facebook page read: “It's been a busy night for Moss side and Hulme neighbourhood staff.

“Unfortunately two dogs violently fighting with each other on Sedgeborough Road had to be tasered to stop the pain to them and risk to the public. Following this both were later seized in order to keep the owner and public safe.”

During a busy night for neighbourhood policing teams working in south Manchester, two police cars were rammed during a separate incident.

Police were called to Blanchard Street, in Hulme, following reports of “suspicious males” in a vehicle on the street.

But when they arrived at the scene the police vehicles were ‘rammed’ as a stolen car sped off from the area.

“On arrival two Police vehicles were rammed as a outstanding stolen car evaded the area,” staff on the GMP Longsight and Moss Side Facebook wrote.

“Fortunately all officers are safe and well and the investigation is ongoing.”
