Five policemen were in hospital last night after being savaged by a dog as they hunted a suspected violent kidnapper.
The officers were said to have ‘life-changing’ wounds as serious as those seen after a shootout.
One officer had his arm broken between the animal’s jaws, while others had chunks of flesh torn from their legs and arms. Some will require plastic surgery, and one could lose several fingers.
