Urine trouble.<\/p>\n
A Queens man apparently upset over a dog peeing on his lawn Thursday stabbed the couple walking the French bulldog during a brawl on the street, even slashing his own father as he tried to calm him down, police sources said.<\/p>\n
The showdown unfolded as the stabber stormed up to the dog walker and her boyfriend, both 39, after he saw the pair\u2019s pooch relieve itself on his lawn on 229th St. near 141st Ave. in Laurelton about 11 a.m., sources said.<\/p>\n
As the argument continued, the man and a friend urinated on his neighbor\u2019s yard in apparent retaliation for the dog\u2019s actions, shocking video obtained by the Daily News shows.<\/p>\n
A brawl broke out shortly after that, with one man whipping out a blade and plunging it into the dog walker\u2019s back. The girlfriend suffered a wound to her left hand.<\/p>\n
When the stabber\u2019s 62-year-old father attempted to intervene, he too was cut in the left hand by his son, according to cops.<\/p>\n
Video obtained by the Daily News shows the dog-walking couple arguing with two men at the scene. The video shows the men sauntering down the block, reaching into their trousers and urinating in apparent retaliation on the front yard of another home.<\/p>\n
The footage then shows the woman pulling out her phone to record the lewd act as the two men approach her boyfriend a second time and a fight breaks out. It\u2019s unclear in the video at what point the victims are stabbed in the wild fracas, which lasts for nearly a minute. During the brawl, another man can be seen dashing into the fray in an apparent bid to break up the fight.<\/p>\n
Responding officers took 34-year-old Akeem Alexander into custody. He is charged with assault, cops said.<\/p>\n
A neighbor witnessed the stabbing\u2019s bloody aftermath.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey brought the older gentleman out on a stretcher,\u201d said Jimmy White, 74, a retired Air Force veteran who lives nearby. \u201cThere were five ambulances and about seven police cars.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fight was over the dog. But for them to come out and start stabbing, this couldn\u2019t have been the first time,\u201d he said. \u201cSomething had to lead up to this. Now they have to risk Rikers and jail.\u201d<\/p>\n
The dog walker, her boyfriend and the stabber\u2019s father were all taken to Jamaica Hospital<\/a>, where they are expected to recover.<\/p>\n A neighbor told the Daily News the victims had been called out before for letting their dog relieve itself on other people\u2019s property.<\/p>\n \u201c(The fight) was over the dog that poops on everybody\u2019s lawn,\u201d said the neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous. \u201cThey never pick up.\u201d<\/p>\n The fight was similar to a clash in Brooklyn where a 75-year-old woman was attacked for complaining that a dog walker was not cleaning up the pooch\u2019s poop<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cops have yet to make an arrest in the April 6 clash on President St. near Troy Ave. in Crown Heights.<\/p>\n Linda Scott was outside her home about 9 a.m. when she got into an argument with two women with two unleashed dogs.<\/p>\n The Brooklyn grandmother was upset that the women were allowing their dogs to defecate in an empty lot next to her property, her son told the Daily News at the time.<\/p>\n Video obtained by The News shows the victim arguing with the dog owner when the woman in red storms up and starts swinging<\/a>. The attacker repeatedly punches<\/a> the elderly victim until she collapses on her front lawn, then kicks her and stomps on her face, the video shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Urine trouble.
