High-profile sportsperson bitten by police dog, faces series of charges

The police said in a statement neither the victim nor police dog required attention for any injuries.

I'm glad the dog is OK, and it's so funny to me the police felt the need to clarify that.

Odd isn't it? At first I thought there was something up:

He also faces counts of ..., injuring a police dog, ...

.and then they soften the whole thing

The police said in a statement neither the victim nor police dog required attention for any injuries.

And then they follow it with:

However the man was treated in hospital after being bitten by the dog during the arrest.

Maybe my comprehension has gone to shit?

It was just a nibble; nothing serious.
