HANCOCK COUNTY -- Chief Deputy Don Bass said it is vital that people continue providing leads and tips to officials working the case of a deputy who narrowly escaped death, thanks to his K-9 partner. 
  
 "The first couple of days, we had an unbelievable outpouring," Bass said. "We need the public to keep the pace so we can catch the bad guys." 
  
 Deputy Todd Frazier was assaulted May 18 during a routine traffic stop on Old U.S. 90. 
  
 Chief Investigator Glenn Grannan said two men attacked him from behind and tried to carry him off into a wooded area. 
  
 "It seems like they were trying to take him back to the woods," Grannan said while on the scene early Tuesday. "They were going to dispose of him. They were going to finish him." 
  
 Bass said the deputy, who is a K-9 officer, stopped to check on a driver sitting alone in a car at the rest stop. 
  
 Unaware two other men were in the woods behind the rest area, Frazier began speaking to the driver. The other men emerged from the woods, drawing the deputy's attention away from the driver, who got out and started attacking, Bass said. 
  
 The attack was thwarted when Frazier was able to use a remote release button on his belt to open his squad car and release his K-9, Lucas, who attacked the men. 
  
 The three men fled in a blue Lincoln Town Car with a black vinyl top and large chrome rims. The car had no tags, and the deputy's squad car was not equipped with a dashboard camera. 
  
 "We think the suspects are possibly out of Louisiana," Bass said. "Our investigation has spread to other agencies and regions." 
  
 Bass said an investigation such as this is difficult without tips. 
  
 "Officers need the public's help," he said. "We are cleaning these streets together." 
  
 Frazier and Lucas have not returned to work, Bass said. 
  
 "They both deserve some time off to get back to 100 percent," he said. "There's no need to rush them back after something like that." 
  
 Bass said Lucas was swabbed for the suspects' DNA after the attack, but officials won't know the results for a few weeks. 
  
 "It's hard to predict what the DNA tests will show, especially from a dog," he said. "We have leads that we are working and hopefully they lead to an arrest."

 He noticed a car at a rest stop in Mississippi and thought the driver needed help 
  
 (CNN) A Mississippi deputy who was attacked by three men is injured but alive after quick action by his K-9 officer. 
  
 Deputy Todd Frazier was driving on a deserted road during his night shift last week when he noticed a car at a rest stop in Pearlington, Mississippi, authorities said. 
  
 Thinking the lone man sitting in a blue Lincoln Town Car with the lights off needed help, he stopped. 
  
 That's when his nightmare started. 
  
 While near the car, Frazier heard some activity coming from the woods as two other men dashed toward him, said Glenn Grannan, chief investigator with the Hancock County Sheriff's Office.

 Deputy Todd Frazier was traveling along a remote stretch of Highway 90 in Pearlington, Mississippi, on Monday when he saw a blue Lincoln Town Car at a deserted rest stop, said Sheriff Ricky Adam of the Hancock County Sheriff's Department. 
  
 The driver of the vehicle looked as if he wasn't moving, so Frazier, a three-year veteran of the department, pulled over in order to check on him, Adam told ABC News. 
  
 "Two individuals surprised Deputy Frazier from the shadows and an altercation ensued," Adam said. "One cut him across the forehead with a razor, one choked him, and one grabbed his legs to carry him to the edge of the woods." 
  
 Frazier was able to hit a button to release his K-9, Lucas, a black Belgian Malinois, from his car, Adam said. Lucas bit the attackers, who then tried to flee in their car.

 As they drove away, Lucas was still hanging onto the leg of one of the assailants, Adam said. As a result of the altercation, Lucas chipped a few teeth and bruised his shoulder. 
  
 Frazier also has bruises, including a gash on his forehead, but his injuries are not life-threatening, Adam said. Both have not been back to work since the incident, but are expected to be okay. 
  
 "Deputy Frazier is a good deputy and takes his job seriously. He is also an excellent dog handler -- he trained Lucas himself," Adam said, noting all three suspects remain at large. 
  
 It was unclear what the motive of the attack was, Adam said. |||||
A:
When Hancock County Sheriff's Deputy Todd Frazier saw a lone car at a rest stop along a remote stretch of Mississippi's Highway 90 last week—with an unmoving driver inside—he pulled over to investigate, leaving K-9 partner Lucas in the car. What Frazier wasn't expecting: Two other men jumping him from the shadows as he approached. "The deputy tripped and fell to the ground as he was backing away from the vehicle," a sheriff's investigator tells CNN. "That's when all three male subjects, including the driver, ambushed him, cut him on the forehead with a sharp object and dragged him into the woods." What those men weren't expecting: Lucas. Frazier was able to hit the button on a device around his neck releasing the black Belgian Malinois, who promptly did his job, ABC News reports. Lucas bit the attackers and all three escaped in the car—though Lucas was still attached to the leg of one as they drove off. He ultimately had to let go, and the three suspects are still at large. As for Lucas and Frazier, both suffered injuries—chipped teeth and a bruised shoulder for the dog, bruises and a gash for the human—but are expected to be fine. "Frazier is ... an excellent dog handler—he trained Lucas himself," the sheriff notes. He told the Sun Herald last week that the department just set up the remote release device last month, and "it definitely saved his life." Added the sheriff's investigator, who says the suspects were going for Frazier's gun, "It seems like they were trying to take him back to the woods. They were going to dispose of him. They were going to finish him." Lucas has been swabbed for possible DNA from the suspects, the paper notes. (Another officer was recently killed the day before her maternity leave was to start.)
