A playground was evacuated after a 'large' and 'aggressive' bulldog ran wild and bit its owner.
Police called in a number of animal experts, including vets and local zoos, to bring the animal under control. They managed to bring the 50kg American bulldog under control in a high fenced area of the park, before sedating it and moving it to a kennel.
The owner was left with 'bite mark' injuries. Nobody else was injured during the incident, according to North Yorkshire Police. The dog was later euthanised with the agreement of the owner.
