NEW YORK — The owner of a pit bull stabbed to death in Central Park during a fight between dog walkers said the canine killer tried to knife him, too.
Brian Cornwell, 52, said the rival dog owner threatened him during the clash when all he was trying to do was protect his own pets.
The 52-year-old owner and his 43-year-old wife were walking his elderly dogs, Eli, a pit bull German Shepherd mix, and, Sadie, a miniature pinscher, when the stabber’s three pit bulls snapped at Sadie at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday, cops said.
