Man bites police dog, woman punches officer

Police in Germany said Friday, October 14, they detained a man for resisting arrest and biting a service dog.

Officers were called to a dispute between two 29-year-old men and a 35-year-old woman in the western town of Ginsheim-Gustavsburg shortly after midnight.

The trio acted in an "extremely aggressive and uncooperative" fashion, police said in a statement. Officers were only able to overpower one of the men by using "massive physical force," it said.

"In the course of resisting arrest the 29-year-old man also bit a police dog," the statement said, adding that the canine did not sustain any injuries.

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old woman injured a police officer with a punch to the face.
