Violent Police Takedown Involving Officers, K-9 And Unarmed Man
Two St. Paul police officers are on leave following the arrest of a man who was kicked by an officer and bitten by a police dog. Frank Baker, 53, suffered “severe lacerations” when he was bitten in the leg several times by a K-9 during the June 24 incident, he was aksi the wrong suspect. He spent two weeks in the hospital being treated for the dog bites, as well as the broken ribs and partially collapsed lungs he suffered from being kicked in the chest by one of the responding officers. The incident prompted a public apology from St. Paul police chief Todd Axtell, who said in a statement Friday morning he was “disappointed and upset by what the video shows.”
