A Manhattan pizzeria worker was mauled by an irate customer’s pit bull during a vicious beatdown late Monday that was sparked because the dog wasn’t allowed in the shop, cops and sources said.
The 50-year-old worker at Roma Pizzeria clung to life Tuesday as the pit bull’s owner Tyshaun Watson, 35, was slapped with an attempted murder charge for allegedly pummeling the employee — later saying he was “sorry” when he was cuffed, cops said.
Surveillance video captured a merciless attack by Watson after he walked into the Flatiron eatery along Fifth Avenue with his pit bull about 10 p.m., sources said. The pizzeria worker tried to wave off Watson for bringing his dog inside, sparking a heated argument, according to sources. Watson flew into a rage, kicking and punching the worker, cops said. Watson dragged the worker from the pizzeria, body slammed him onto a sidewalk and punched him several times before backing away, the video showed.

Where I live, pit bulls are illegal but only if someone calls them in. I have a neighbor who has two of them with heads the size of manhole covers & the reason I carry my .380 on walks with my Labrador. The PBs are fenced but you never know.

Why not put them both in the same cage? With just a bottle of BBQ sauce.

“He was sorry”. Pathetic pos. Put him in a cage with some rabid pit bulls.

That’s a VERY GOOD idea. Those dogs can’t be trusted.
