A pair of police officers who were mauled by a suspect’s dog in a relentless attack have been nominated for a prestigious accolade.
Northumbria PCs Joshua Williams and Emma Gray were responding to a report of a domestic incident in Blyth last January in the early hours.
Upon arrival, Sean Bell called upon his large Staffordshire bull terrier, ordering it to ‘get them’. The dog ferociously attacked PC Gray and PC Williams, causing multiple puncture wounds and lacerations.
