MELBOURNE (Australia) — Try not to laugh. The Sunday Times reports that a fugitive from the law was dumb enough to think that he could outrun and outbox a K-9.
The man allegedly punched a police dog in the head while attempting to escape capture in the bayside suburbs of Melbourne last Thursday. The dog retaliated with a swift snap to the man's privates.
Or as a police spokesperson confirmed a bit more descriptively: "I believe the penis copped a few teeth."
The K-9 was not injured, according to the police report. However, the suspect, a Melbourne man whose identity has been kept confidential, required some hospital treatment.

And the next day, again in Australia.......
PERTH (Australia) — The very next day on the other end of Oz, another police dog took a bite out of crime in his own way, leaving "only minor lacerations" on a man's buttock, authorities reported.
Referring to the prior day's Melbourne arrest, the Perth Police hinted that their K-9 dogs are just a tad more polite: "Our dog bit him on the bum," a spokesperson said. "Not somewhere more delicate."
According to The Sunday Times, the fleeing suspect had allegedly stolen a car and led officers on a high-speed chase through the southern suburbs of Perth last Friday.
After the car chase ended, the man attempted to escape on foot; however, his escape plan was "nipped in the butt" by a pursuing K-9 officer.
The suspect was brought to the ground and—perhaps having heard of what had happened to his unfortunate predecessor, and not being too keen on receiving a canine circumcision of his own—surrendered without further resistance.
