Members of the public jumped on a dangerous dog and wrestled it to the ground before firearms officers seized the animal after it attacked another dog in Cardiff on Tuesday evening. Onlookers told of people screaming in the street in Connaught Road in Roath as a large dog, which they said looked like a pitbull, “locked its jaws around a white cockapoo” leaving a pool of blood on the floor at 8.15pm on Tuesday, July 11.
South Wales Police said in a statement tonight that a dangerous dog had been seized in North Road in Cardiff. It is believed to be the same incident, but we are trying to clarify the discrepancy over the location.
One eyewitness said: “I live on Connaught Road and I’d just got in from work and I heard screaming outside. I looked outside and there was a woman screaming and then there was this massive extra large pitbull attacking a cockapoo. It took five men to take it down. I rang the police and they took a little while to get here but it felt like ages.
