The woman along with her partner was walking their German shepherd pit bull mix named Eli when an argument broke out with another dog walker, after their pet began biting Eli. “I was trying to correct him and say it’s not OK, your dog just tried to bite my dog,” Eli's owner Brian Robert told the New York Post. Eli was "exhausted", he said, adding: “When he was younger he would have been able to handle this.” Following Saturday's incident, the couple has decided to not walk Sadie in Central Park anytime soon due to a paralysing fear of what's to come.
