How to use both causative and て欲しい grammar at the same time?


I want to say the following in Japanese.

> I want the police officer to make the dog bite the snatcher.

My attempt is as follows.

> 私は警察官に犬にひったくりを噛ませて欲しい。

Is it correct? Is it possible to use just one に?




> 「[私]{わたし}は[警察官]{けいさつかん} **に** [犬]{いぬ} **に** ひったくりを[噛]{か}ませて[欲]{ほ}しい。」

is correct if I have to choose between "correct" and "incorrect".

A little more natural-sounding word order IMHO would be:

> 「私は警察官 **に** 、ひったくりを **犬に** 噛ませて欲しい。」

for clarity reasons. Cramming the phrase 「A **に** B **に** 」 into the same part
of a sentence is not such a great idea even though it is still grammatical.

Finally, if you used 「噛み[付]{つ}かせて」 instead of 「噛ませて」, it would be even more
natural.




> 「[私]{わたし}は[警察官]{けいさつかん} **に** [犬]{いぬ} **に** ひったくりを[噛]{か}ませて[欲]{ほ}しい。」

is correct if I have to choose between "correct" and "incorrect".
