A Stamford police dog has been demoted to house pet after officials say he attacked a jogger in Greenwich earlier this week.
A sergeant was putting the German shepherd named McGee into his cruiser when the dog ran after the woman and bit her leg, arm and wrist, police said. She needed about 30 stitches after the incident on Monday night.
Stamford police have apologized to the woman and took McGee off the job permanently. He’s also been placed on 14-day quarantine.
It’s not McGee’s first run-in with trouble. Chief Robert Nivakoff said McGee also nipped a delivery worker at the sergeant’s home, although no formal complaints were filed in that case.
