Naked man bites police dog

Sep 10, 2014 | 7:07 AM

It was a case of man bites dog — with even more of a strange twist.

On Tuesday at around 2:30 a.m., police in Prince Albert were called to Little Red River Park after a man took off in his car. He was allegedly under the influence of drugs, following a family dispute.

Police were able to locate the vehicle and a short pursuit down Second Avenue West ensued when the man refused to pull over.

The driver attempted to turn onto Highway 11, but instead slid into the ditch.

When the man exited the vehicle, he was completely naked and took off from police.
