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.

Do you know how hard it is to chase down a dog an interview him?
Pit bulls are sweet dogs if you don’t trigger them!
Seems like a pattern. Except, I must admit, the bwahs don’t usually hang with dogs. Curios.
Forget the pitbull, beware of owner.
Pitt Bulls should be exterminated.
Tyshawn and the dog both need to be bled out. And let his family mop up.
Why did the guy think he could bring a dog into a restaurant? Why beat up a worker who said no. Just go somewhere else.
When you need a gun and the police are minutes away.
Tell that to the innocent victims ( those who survived) of a PB attack they were the cause. Hoping you’re only joking.
NYC self defense and defense of others with a firearm is a much more serious crime than assault - probably get you longer jail time than killing someone
35? He looks 55. Hard life. And it’s about to get harder. Oh, wait, its New York...
Well golly gosh...
Remind me to never go to NYC then...
[Why did the guy think he could bring a dog into a restaurant? Why beat up a worker who said no.]
Silly goose. He’s obviously special and privileged.
C’mon man!!
He gets to ignore whatever public health guidelines whenever.
Honestly, where do you go to learn how to effectively “body slam” someone? Is this a move that is practiced in Judo or Karate classes? Where do these street thugs get to practice this stuff, because you have to practice in order to be good at anything.
Throw him in prison for the rest of his life and put down all his dogs. Do you think that's his only one?
Dunno - looks to me like a guy that’s already spent time in prison - he’s got that “convict” look - “felon” look
But I’m just guessing - but that’s how I’d read him by his face
