A Dumbo resident sent us an email to warn others about her experience of being attacked by a dog while jogging up towards Hillside Park this morning:
“I want to alert you that I was running up the hill between Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights past the dog park this morning. A large black dog jumped over the fence and started attacking my leg viciously (pic). I was able to run on top of a car to avoid further attack. This is very scary because had I been a small child who knows…. There is a playground on top of the hill that all children in the neighborhood frequent. I was too traumatized to get the owners name. Please be careful especially if you have small children. Pleae alert the neighborhood!”
Pedestrians, please be mindful of dogs, and dog owners, please watch your pets.
Damn. I run up there too. Thanks for the heads up.

you should have talked with the owner and found their name…as a dog owner; i’d be horrified, and embarrassed if my dog jumped the fence, and even worse, bit someone. hopefully you can track down the owner and make sure the dog has had it’s shots.

This is one of my neighbors – in fact, I saw her leg with the bite marks this morning as I was taking our dog out. It was horrendous! They will be tracking down the owner ASAP.

Always collect information for your own safety, and go get at minimum a tetanus shot!

I would have strangled the dog to it’s death. What kind of dog was it?

I walked down the hill one night when two large black dogs came flying up to the fence, barking ferociously. They scared the hell out of me and I found myself leaping up onto a car as well, screaming! They didn’t jump the fence though. And the owner, who was farther into the park, said nothing nor even moved. He simply whistled and they ran back to him.
