"Sources familiar with the investigation said the victim had just departed an R train and was walking on the platform when the owner's dog, a German shepherd, jumped on him. The straphanger became enraged and told the pooch's owner to control the dog, sources familiar with the case said. The owner retaliated by slapping the man and removing his dog's muzzle. Take care of your business, the man reportedly stated before siccing the dog on the victim."
"The German shepherd then pounced on the straphanger, viciously biting the 54-year-old on his left hand. After taking a bite out of the straphanger, the dog and its owner fled from the station to parts unknown. The incident was reported to the 13th Precinct and NYPD Transit District 4. EMS brought the victim to NYU Langone Tisch Hospital for treatment of lacerations to his hand; he was listed in stable condition."
