The officer was outside his home shortly before noon on the 6400 block of Oakley Street in Lawndale when he saw a dog defecate in his front yard, police said. He asked the dog's owner, a 39-year-old man from the 6400 block of Argyle Street, to clean up. After a verbal argument between the two, the dog owner left.
When the owner returned a few minutes later without his dog, the man and the officer got into a fight, during which the man punched the officer several times in the face and head, police said. The man pulled the officer's hooded sweatshirt over his head, leaving the officer bent over as he continued to hit him from behind, police said.

Internal Affairs will investigate the shooting and the District Attorney's Office will review it. The officer will be placed on administrative duty during the investigation.
