The event happened in Victoria Park, Hackney where Urbane, one of the two police horses sustained severe injuries to his legs and belly region

Allegedly, the police horses were patrolling the area along with their riders when the off-leash American Bulldog XL, named Coco, charged at them

She first caught on to Urbane's legs and then proceeded to bite his stomach, causing him immense pain

In a desperate attempt to break free, Urbane kicked his legs but to no avail

The video even shows the riding officers shout to grab other passer by's attention and encourage them to help them get rid off the unruly canine

Thanks to a brave person, Urbane was saved from further stress as he helped pull Coco off and even held her down till the owner arrived with a leash

Hakan Niyazi, the owner, in an interview even stated that "She was initimidated by the horse. She felt threatened" as according to him the dog previously has been perfectly fine around horses

For now Urbane is undergoing recovery and will be joining duty soon, while simultaneously inquiries related to the case are still open

This occurrence marks yet another issue that arises with poor training and bad socialization skills in canines
