New York, July 24: In a terrifying incident, an unarmed black man encountered an attack by a police officer's K-9 dog while attempting to surrender to the authorities. Even more concerning was the fact that an Ohio State Trooper had explicitly advised the officers against releasing the dog during the incident. The man had his hands raised in surrender, yet the dog pounced on him.

The incident occurred on July 4 when law enforcement officers engaged in a lengthy pursuit of a semi-tractor trailer driven by 23-year-old Jadarrius Rose. The pursuit was initiated due to a missing mud flap on the vehicle and its failure to stop for an inspection, the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) said. After the use of tire deflation devices, commonly known as "stop sticks," for the second time, the semi-tractor trailer finally came to a stop on a state highway approximately 40 miles (64 kilometers) south of Columbus.

Shortly thereafter, despite a state trooper's explicit instructions not to release the dog, an officer from the Circleville Police Department deployed a police dog on Rose. US: TSA Dog Handler Removed After Video of Him Pulling, Dragging K-9 at Detroit Metro Airport Goes Viral.
