A man has been arrested for assaulting three police officers and allowing an XL bully to run loose.
Police responded to reports of two dogs, believed to be XL bullies, fighting near Links Avenue, Peacehaven, today at 10.45am.
One XL bully, along with a border collie cross, was on the loose from a nearby vehicle, when it attacked another XL bully being walked on a lead by its owner.
The walker suffered cuts to his hands and his dog suffered minor injuries, but neither required medical treatment.
Police seized the XL bully that was loose and arrested its owner, 29, for having dogs dangerously out of control.
The man was also arrested for assaulting three police officers and damaging a police vehicle when being transported to custody.
Police increased their presence in the area at the time for reassurance.
