A man who attacked a police dog and several police officers whilst being armed with a baseball bat, has pleaded guilty to various offences.

In the early hours of Tuesday morning (29th December), West Midlands police officers were called to a domestic incident in Wyken, Coventry.

When the officers, including Police Dog Vapour, arrived at the location, a man tried to attack them with a baseball bat. Fortunately, Vapour was too quick for the attacker and helped to detain the male, who was then arrested. 

PD Vapour was not injured during the incident. One police officer sustained minor injuries.

West Midlands Police Dog Section tweeted about the incident on their Twitter page.  

Yesterday, they updated their Twitter page to say that the male had been charged, was remanded and has since pleaded guilty at court. 

“Male that attacked Vapour (and three officers!) with a baseball bat was charged and remanded, and plead guilty at court to 1 x Attempt crim dam for the attack on the dog, and 3 counts of Assault Emergency Worker. Thanks to colleagues in @Coventry_Police who ran the investigation”

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

    Good for Vapour. I hope he gave this low life a thorough and comprehensive chewing and that his handler was too shocked and out of breath to call him off quickly. At least a bit of impartial justice has been handed out, although doubtless the judiciary will award this worthless scumbag damages and only hand down a nonsense sentence.
