The victim told police he was walking his pit bull near 51st Street and Lewis Avenue when 61-year-old Freddie Hanson, who was also walking a pit bull, unleashed his dog on the victim and then stabbed him while he tried to separate the canines. Police discovered Hanson nearby, arrested him, and turned the suspect's dog over to animal control. (News On 6)
