The Bakersfield Police Department says a WWE star was bitten by a police dog during a bomb sweep that took place at a recent live event -- and sources confirm Shinsuke Nakamura was the victim.

The Wrestling Observer first reported the incident, which took place at the Rabobank Arena, and now police have released a statement saying:

On Monday, June 25, 2018, officers of the Bakersfield Police Department Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Team were conducting a protective sweep of the Rabobank Arena in preparation for the WWE Live Summerslam Heatwave Tour.

During the sweep, the EOD Team, which consisted of an explosive detection trained canine team and bomb technicians entered an area of the arena where an employee of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) was present. The canine entered the room to sweep for the presence of any explosive material. As the sweep took place the WWE employee was accidentally bit by the canine. The employee sustained an injury to his lower left leg. Medical aid was immediately summoned to the scene and the employee was transported to a local area hospital for medical treatment.

Nakamura was pulled from SmackDown the next day. His current condition is unclear, so it's unknown if he'll compete at this weekend's live events in Japan.
