The dog, understood to be an XL Bully, was spotted biting a man, aged 18, as he lay helplessly on the ground.

The vicious canine relentlessly mauls the man as two other men strike the animal with a mop and another object.

Cops were alerted to the incident on Wednesday morning.

Afterwards the light brown and white coloured dog was spotted tied up to a railing with its mouth and nose covered in blood.

A broken mop head from the frantic struggle lies on the ground nearby.

The injured teenager was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment.

The XL Bully was later put to sleep.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 11.20am on Wednesday, 18 October, 2023, police received a report of a dog having injured an 18-year-old man on Anderson Street, Motherwell.

“The man was taken to hospital for treatment. The dog has been euthanised.”
