TWO people were mauled after an XL bully was ordered to “kill” during a horror street fight.
Colin Pearson, who was out with the dog named King, got into a violent row with Kurtis Rutter in Hendon, Sunderland, and told the animal to “get him, kill him”.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the mutt attacked the intended target and “caused havoc in the streets”.
It also savaged another victim, Jake Moan, who had bravely tried to help Mr Rutter.
The court heard the animal “latched on” to the men and left them both with serious injuries that required hospital treatment.
Cops tasered the animal at the scene before it was humanely destroyed by a vet.
Pearson, 44, of Noble Street, Sunderland, who has 165 offences on his record, admitted two charges of being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog and has been jailed for three years.
