On Thursday, June 5, 2025, at approximately 2:50 p.m. members of Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) 2 District (Niagara Falls/Niagara-on-the-Lake) uniform patrol responded to the area of Lundy’s Lane and Drummond Road in the City of Niagara Falls for an Unknown 911 call for service.
Initial reports indicated that two unleashed Rottweiler dogs were running loose without an owner. Witnesses explained that the dogs had attacked and killed a smaller dog and had bitten a bystander. Further information received while officers were en route indicated that the dogs were actively attacking another individual.
Upon arrival, officers observed the two Rottweilers aggressively mauling a lone male bystander. Fearing for the safety of the individual and to prevent a further escalation of aggression toward other members of the public, the officer intervened and discharged their firearm, stopping the attack.
The dogs were removed from the scene by the Humane Society. Niagara Emergency Medical Services attended and provided medical assistance to the two injured victims.
This investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 905-688-4111, dial option 3, extension 1022206.
