The Hackham West man, 20, and a Happy Valley man, 24, were allegedly found trespassing on a construction site at Reynella East High School in the early hours of Wednesday, April 24. Police were called to the Hewlett Packard St school about 4.45am after a resident reported seeing the men going through a shipping container. They set up cordons and called in the dog squad. Police said the 20-year-old man was bitten after he allegedly pushed the police dog handler as the pair tried to run from the scene. He was taken to hospital and treated for bite wounds. The men were charged with criminal trespass, theft and carrying an article of disguise. The Hackham West man was also charged with assaulting a police officer. Both were bailed to appear in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court at a later date.
