The protests surrounding the Dakota Access Pipeline took a violent turn over the weekend, when the private security firm hired to guard the controversial pipeline’s construction unleashed attack dogs on the crowd of demonstrators.

The protestors, who included women and children, had been peacefully chanting “Water is life,” as guards stood nearby with the dogs in hopes of intimidating them. At one point they unleashed the dogs without warning and released pepper spray into the area. Videos from the scene show the dogs lunging at protestors as they marched through piles of dirt created by the early stages of construction. The dogs bit at least six people, including a child. A horse was also reportedly bitten.

The OYATE Media Network reported that phone and data reception had conveniently dropped to almost zero at the same time. Video from the scene shows a helicopter belonging to the North Dakota State Patrol hovering above the chaos during the dog attack, even though Morton County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Donnell Preskey claimed that law enforcement had not received any reports of injured protestors.

Tribal spokesperson Steve Sitting Bear said that at least 30 of the demonstrators were hit with the pepper spray. Four security guards and two of the guard dogs were also reportedly injured during the confrontation.
