(posted on December 22, 2025) shares a disturbing video of a pit bull attacking a young child (appearing to be a toddler in a camouflage jacket) on a busy street near Union Square in NYC (visible Santander bank branch and yellow taxis in the background).What happens in the video:- The pit bull suddenly lunges at the child, biting and locking onto their leg or lower body.
- The dog shakes the child violently while the owner struggles to control it.
- A crowd of bystanders rushes in to help: several men pile on, trying to pull the dog off.
- One person successfully stops the attack by choking the dog (cutting off its airway), forcing it to release—highlighted in replies as the most effective method (kicking or prying jaws often fails with this breed).
- The child's mother (in a light-colored coat) is seen distraught on the ground afterward.
- The attack lasts over a minute before the dog is subdued; the owner remains at the scene.
- Strong criticism of pit bulls, with many calling for muzzling requirements in public or outright bans.
- Comments like "It's not all pits, but it's always a pit" and praise for the bystander who choked the dog.
- No confirmed updates on the child's condition (as of December 23, 2025)—the incident hasn't been covered by major news outlets yet, only spreading via social media and Reddit threads (e.g., r/BanPitBulls and r/NYStateOfMind).
