XL Bully that attacked woman in Motherwell incident to be put down

An XL Bully that jumped up on a woman and bit her on the hand is to be destroyed, a sheriff has ruled.

But as Durnion, 32, tried to avoid officers he encountered resident, Margaret Marshall, who was trying to get in. Nipsy then 'aggressively' jumped on her and bit her right hand causing a puncture wound in January. Durnion became abusive towards police and shouted, 'You are not taking the dog, f**k off, you will not put it down', before he eventually handed him over. He told officers Nipsy was a rescue dog and belonged to another man.

Depute fiscal Sinead Corrigan told how Marshall had been attacked after Durnion refused to stop and speak to police. "He was holding the dog on a chain lead and as the witness was walking past, the dog has jumped up aggressively and bit her on her right hand causing a puncture wound which was slightly bleeding."The accused refused to place the dog in the marked cell van and continued to shout but then calmed down and placed the dog in the van."The fiscal added: "He was then spoken to about the dog and confirmed its name was Nipsy and that it was a rescue dog.
