Three days after a group dog attack in Gisborne put a young boy in hospital with head and leg injuries, a 43-year-old man facing charges has been told he is not allowed to possess dogs until a court case has been concluded.
Following an appearance before a Gisborne District Court registrar today, the man, who applied for interim name suppression, was remanded at large without plea in relation to six charges.
He faces three charges of owning a dog that causes injury.
He also faces three charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of utensils used for methamphetamine and cultivation of cannabis.
He was told he was not allowed to possess or have any dog under his control, ahead of his next court appearance on June 22.
