Sask. woman bit by police dog after opening police vehicle door
A police service dog bit a 26-year-old woman on Wednesday evening after the woman opened the door of a police canine vehicle, Prince Albert police said in a news release.
Officers were called to the 2800 block of 6th Avenue East for a complaint of a disturbance where they spoke with a man they described as “uncooperative” who was suffering from non-life threatening injuries from an assault, police said.
He was taken to Victoria Hospital for observation, according to police.
“During the investigation, a 26-year-old intoxicated female was detained, spoken to by an officer, and released to friends,” police said.

She was also taken to the Victoria Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) was notified, however, SIRT determined the situation did not meet the criteria for an investigation.
