K-9 cop flies through shattered vehicle window to make arrest
Duke, a 5-year-old Belgian Malinois, clamps down on the suspect who refused to get out of his vehicle in Corona, California.
A California K-9 who served in the Marine Corps in Iraq was captured on video taking down an assault suspect who had allegedly led police on a chase in California early Friday morning.
Video of the incident shows a California Highway Patrol (CHP) officer breaking the driver's side window of the pickup before the 5-year-old Belgian malinois named Duke jumped through the shattered glass into the driver's seat.
