Two suspects were arrested on Metropolitan Avenue at the New China Restaurant located off 19th Street after they allegedly set their dog loose on a man and woman inside the restaurant.
Both suffered dog bites and were taken to Jamaica Hospital.
An employee at the restaurant told The Forum that the two men had been in the restaurant before but never with the dog and both patrons who were bitten were regular customers. The four people, they know each other,” the employee said. “There was a problem between them and they guys let the dog bite them. It’s crazy,” said the woman.
The couple were both treated for numerous dog bites and released. Police are still investigating the circumstances of the incident.
