NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- A German shepherd attacked an NYPD officer on Staten Island on Thursday before the dog was fatally shot by a second officer, police said.
Officers were responding to a 911 call for an emotionally disturbed person on Comstock Avenue, near Domain Street, in Graniteville around 4:30 p.m. when the dog lunged at one of them, according to police.
The dog bit the officer in his hand and leg, police said.
During the confrontation, a second officer shot and killed the dog.
The officers were transported in stable condition to Richmond University Medical Center.
The circumstances surrounding the emotionally disturbed person weren’t immediately known.
It’s also unclear if there’s a connection between that person and the dog.
