As he stood by a trailer close to the property, a huge South African Mastiff launched itself at him in a savage attack that was captured on CCTV. The dog begins tearing at the man's arms and legs as he throws kicks and punches at the relentless hound. The dog follows the man around the compound tearing and biting at his clothes and body before he is able to escape by climbing onto a table.

The man was still at the property screaming for help when the owner returned home an hour later and found the dog guarding the table, preventing the suspect from escaping. The homeowner called the police but the suspect had to be treated for his injuries before he was taken away.
