A dad-of-two was left needing stitches after he was mauled by a police dog while he was chasing a burglar near his home.
William Campbell, from Birmingham, was at home with his partner on April 20 when they heard someone breaking into their neighbour's shed.
The 51-year-old went out to investigate and came face-to-face with a suspect holding an empty beer glass, who he tried to persuade to stay still while police were called.
