Victoria Police confirmed two men and a woman were arrested after Northcote police officers attempted to stop a white Ford sedan. The suspects would not stop and a chase ensued, according to a police statement.

The pursuit ended when a tire blew off the sedan and both a 20-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man were arrested at the scene.

The third suspect, a 19-year-old man, fled the scene and ran into a local creek. Indy, a 4-year-old German Shepard, continued the chase. Police say

ABC Australia reports the man hit Indy on the head and then attempted to drown the dog before he was bitten.

A 29-year-old Mill Park man was released pending further inquiries.
