MINNEAPOLIS -- The man was bit in the genitals by a police dog while being arrested for allegedly running nude and entering homes in a Minneapolis neighborhood.

Police said the dog bit the man in order to protect its handler. Police say the man started hitting the officer and the police dog did what its trained to do -- protect its human partner.

A police spokesman said police dogs are trained to bite if their partner is attacked. He said the dogs are not trained to bit in the groin area, but that it's likely the dog jumped and bit the man while he was moving around.

The dog, which was still leashed, bit the suspect to protect the officer.

The 19-year-old-man was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.

Police reports said a police canine unit found the nude suspect shortly after noon Tuesday in a house. Police said the suspect began hitting an officer who ordered him out of the house.

1. Until I read he was 19...

...I thought this was another "where was Bill O'Reilly?" story.

Well, whoever he was, sounds like Fido got him right in the falafel.
