STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.— The cries for help and the dripping blood conjured up the memories of the fateful night a 71-year-old Sunnyside man was brutally attacked by a big black dog.

The sights and sounds were captured on a video shared with Advance in response to a recent story about an aggressive animal that has plagued the community.

“It was like reliving that troubled night all over again,” the victim told the Advance after seeing the video Saturday.

The man said he and his dog, Hercules, were bitten by a neighbor’s pit bull near Renwick Avenue and Oswego Street on the evening of Oct. 3.

The vicious attack was caught on camera by a witness at the scene.

The video appears to show a struggle between the victim’s golden-haired dog and a black canine while a couple of men try to separate the pooches.

The dogs are heard growling and barking during the encounter before one of the men finally gets a hold of the black dog.

“Grab the dog,” someone says before a man is seen corralling the black canine.

The victim said he was bit in the midst of the melee.

“Help ... help..,” the man is repeatedly heard saying in the video.

Shortly after, the victim, in blue jeans and a green jacket, is seen laying in the street with his left hand bleeding.

“Are you alright?” a man asks. “No,” the victim replies.

The man suffered a laceration on his right middle finger and a large gash on his left hand that extended from his index finger to his palm. The victim had surgery the following day to close the wound.

Hercules was also bitten on the neck during the encounter.

“This dog is highly aggressive,” he previously said. “He just lunged at my dog and I grabbed his neck to try to break it up.”

The black dog’s owner denied the attack, saying his pet is a Lab, not a pit bull.

“They accuse me, so what?” said the man, also 71. “He never attacked nobody that I know of.”

Surveillance video in the aftermath shows the black dog chasing Hercules to the victim’s front porch and around the area for several minutes. It also shows a couple of the victim’s neighbors trying to help.

A police report was filed, but the NYPD said it has not launched a criminal investigation into the incident.

A spokeswoman for the city Health Department, the agency responsible for investigating animal bites, said it is looking into the matter.

The victim and several neighbors said they believe the black dog is the same animal that attacked two Chihuahuas last month in the same neighborhood.
