NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A man fatally stabbed a dog in Central Park Saturday after getting into an argument with another dog walker, police said.

The suspect was walking two dogs near 106th Street and East Drive around 8:30 p.m. when he got into a verbal dispute with a couple that was walking their own two dogs.

Police said the man then whipped out a knife and stabbed Eli, a female Pit bull-German Shepherd mix, before fleeing on foot.

The owner, 43, told cops that her husband rushed the critically injured dog to a nearby animal clinic, where she was euthanized.

No arrests have been made at this time.
