Seattle Police K-9 Jedi and his handler were hurt during the encounter but made a full recovery. The man was violating a court order during the March arrest.

SEATTLE — A Seattle K-9 officer and his partner were injured while taking a man into custody in South Seattle, and it was all caught on body-camera footage.

The chase happened in March of this year, but KING 5 just got the body camera footage through a public information request.

The officer and K-9 Jedi responded to a home south of Rainier Valley along South Avon Street for a report of the suspect violating a domestic violence court order.

The man ran from police into a large patch of blackberry bushes and refused to come out. K-9 Jedi went after the man and bit his leg and was able to hold him in place until his handler could get the man in handcuffs.

During the process, the man punched Jedi multiple times in the nose, causing it to bleed. Jedi’s human partner also injured his shoulder during the arrest. Both were able to make a full recovery.
