Callers reported a man hitting a dog with a bat in the 2100 block of Kenilworth. Three officers came and found the man with the bat, who explained he was trying to stop a pitbull that was attacking a dog. He said a woman was walking her Husky on the east side of the street when a pitbull came up and began biting the Husky. The witness said he ran up and hit the attacking dog’s neck to make it stop. The Husky ran away northbound, he said, with its owner chasing it; the pitbull ran into a gangway. As they spoke, 23-year-old Ricardo Martinez of that block approached and told police he is the owner of the pitbull, which is five months old. He said the pitbull must have broken its chain. Martinez was cited for having a dog at large, and has a court date at the police station of October 11 at 3 PM.
