A vicious pit bull attacked a 1-year-old boy on a crowded Manhattan street and refused to let go – leaving the baby with a “hole” in his leg, shocking video shows.
A woman — who appears to be the boy’s mom — pleaded for onlookers to call 911 while she tried to pull the bloodthirsty dog off the child outside the Santander Bank in Union Square on Sunday around 11:10 a.m., according to the sickening footage and cops.
Several good Samaritans attempted to rip the dog off the boy, with one repeatedly kicking the dog while another man put it in a headlock.
“Call the police. Someone pull him off! Someone please,” the woman pleaded.
The dog eventually let go after a man grabbed the canine’s private parts from behind.
“Brother, that’s crazy,” a man filming the horrific attack is heard saying.
“Oh my God. There is a hole in his f–king leg, bro. There is a hole in that boy’s leg.”
The dog’s owner calmly walked off with the pooch and waited at a bus stop as onlookers appeared to call the NYPD.
Medics rushed the boy — who was left with multiple leg lacerations — to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, where he was listed in stable condition, police said.
