Police called to alleged dog attack in Harbour Views

Police officers were called to an incident at Harbour Views on Tuesday evening after a dog allegedly attacked a member of the public. 

Residents reported seeing a heavy police response including armed officers and others equipped with riot gear including shields. 

“Officers safely apprehended and arrested a man following an incident where he was unwilling to surrender his dog after an attempted attack on a member of the public,” a spokesman for the Royal Gibraltar Police told the Chronicle.  

“The animal and individual were safely removed from the area without injuries to the public or police officers.” 

“The investigation continues.”
