A man was arrested after a runner said he and his dog were attacked by two pit bulls in Wynwood, a bloody incident partially captured on video. <\/p>\n
For Evan Motlong, it was a regular evening run with his dog Indie when two pit bulls suddenly charged at him as he tried to protect his dog.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe went by, he was going this, we were going this way,” Motlong said. “I just remember it happened just like that, like the two dogs just rushed after her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Only In Dade video appears to show the two pit bulls off their leash with their owner.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe first image of Otero Alc\u00e1ntara, after his release from prison, was posted on his official page, already on board the plane that brought him to Miami.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Motlong said he jumped in to save his dog, who suffered injuries to her leg and side, picture show. <\/p>\n
\u201cI ripped one [dog] off, and I got in the middle, and got the other off, I got my arm badly bit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Motlong told NBC6 that the owner then ordered the dogs to attack him.<\/p>\n
According to witnesses who spoke with Motlong, the dog owner gave him a black eye.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo he told me that this guy shoved me, and punched me while I was on the ground,” he said.<\/p>\n
Video shows Motlong bleeding on the floor, with his leg splayed out at an odd angle.<\/p>\n
Motlong said detectives told him they intended to arrest the man with the dogs, and on Sunday, Miami police confirmed that they arrested 44-year-old Jonte Adrian Jack. <\/p>\n
He is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, felony battery, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer and criminal mischief. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe comments I’ve read on my story have said they’ve seen this guy doing this to other people,” Motlong said<\/p>\n
Motlong is now hoping his story helps prevent this from happening to someone else<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople shouldn\u2019t have to look over their shoulder wondering if their, a family member basically, a dog is a family member, is going to get attacked or potentially killed,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man was arrested after a runner said he and his dog were attacked by two pit bulls…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":345244,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124,309],"class_list":["post-345891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-wynwood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/345244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=345891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=345891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
