He was also ordered to pay £1,000 compensation, a £500 fine and £322 court costs and his dog was ordered to be put to sleep

A man whose dog bit a woman cyclist and 'pulled her off her bike', has been handed a jail term suspended for two years, and a destruction order has been placed on his pet German Shepherd.

Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council brought charges against the dog owner under the Dogs Order 1983 and Bednarek pleaded guilty at Antrim Magistrates Court on June 28, 2023 following an investigation conducted by a Council Enforcement Officer. Charges were brought against Bednarek for being the owner of a dog which attacked a person and for the contravention of control conditions already attached to the licence of the dog.

A spokesperson for the council said: "The dog in question had previously attacked a person in September 2019 and was subject to additional control measures requiring the dog to be on a lead and muzzled at all times when in public." Four years on, Bednarek who was present in court regarding the same dog in June, entered guilty pleas to two charges and his case was adjourned to August 23, to allow for a pre-sentence report.
