A man whose pitbull attacked five police officers has been convicted of owning a dog that was dangerously out of control in a public place.
Symieon Robinson-Pierre, 25, was found guilty of three charges under the Dangerous Dogs Act during a hearing at London Crown Court.
He was found guilty over injuries to PCs Paul Garrard, Lee Bush and Steve Bones.
The court had previously heard how locals stood and filmed the scene on their mobile phones.
The dog was shot by an armed police officer after five others had attempted to subdue it without success.
The jury of seven men and five women reached a unanimous verdict, finding Robinson-Pierre guilty on all three charges.
He had previously been cleared of a fourth charge when it was ruled that an attack on PC Marc Merritt took place in the garden of Robinson-Pierre's home, which is a private property and not a public place.
An attack by the animal on a fifth police officer, Pc Martin Corderoy, also took place in the garden, and was not the subject of a charge.
Robinson-Pierre also admitted a charge of owning a fighting dog.
He has been remanded in custody until he is sentenced, which is expected to take place on September 17.
The term pitbull can be used to refer to multiple breeds of dog, including the American pitbull terrier, the American Staffordshire terrier, the Staffordshire bull terrier and crosses between the three.
