Bronx, NY – A good Samaritan who tried to stop a man from abusing a dog was beaten so brutally that the police charged the dog abuser with attempted murder. As reported by the New York Post, police charged 34-year-old Rubin Bartley with attempted murder after he viciously attacked the 35-year-old man who intervened on the dog’s behalf when Bartley was trying to choke the dog.
According to sources, Bartley was abusing a year-old Doberman on Sunday afternoon in the area of East 135th Street and Third Avenue. When the good Samaritan approached Bartley in an effort to make him stop hurting the dog, Bartley turned his anger on the 35-year-old man, ruthlessly attacking him with a wooden bat and leaving the man bloodied and suffering from a broken jaw. The victim was transported to Lincoln Medical Center for care.
Bartley was arrested on-site; his arraignment will be held at the Bronx Criminal Court. No word on the condition or whereabouts of the Doberman who was being choked.
