Woodson Terrace Police Officer Let A K-9 Dog Loose To Attack A Black Man During Arrest – Video

FBI Investigating Disturbing Video Of Black Man Being Viciously Attacked By Police Dog

The FBI is currently investigating a disturbing video showing the moment a police officer let a K-9 loose to attack a black man during his arrest.

The video was recorded in St. Louis, Missouri where police officers from the Woodson Terrace Police Department detained a black male against a squad car and let the dog loose during the arrest.

The dog bites the man on his foot and continues to attack after officers knocked him down on the ground. After the video went viral on social media, the FBI has launched an investigation into the police department.

Woodson Police Chief Randy Halsted said in a statement that they are fully cooperating with the probe, according to the New York Post.

In a Facebook post, the department claims the suspect threatened to kill the officers after responding to a trespassing complaint on Monday.

“The subject continued yelling obscenities and telling the officers he would not comply and he ‘will not obey our contract. The subject was then warned several times that if he did not comply the K9 would be released.”

The post continued, “The subject continued to resist causing minor injuries to one of the officers so the K9 was released and the K9 gained control of the suspect’s foot.” Watch the video below:
