This is the moment armed police shot an out of control XL Bully, who attacked passers-by and injured at least one woman in Greater Manchester on Friday night.

Video footage captured officers armed with guns chasing the dog, which was seen running out onto the road having reportedly attacked several members of the public.

Police were shown firing shots at the unruly animal while pursuing it down Gladstone Road in Eccles, Salford.

One member of the public, dressed in a grey top and jeans, is seen pleading with officers to not kill the dog.
