Bizarre saw attack on dogs at park ends with attacker in hospital, police say
http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_23719369/san-jose-bizarre-saw-attack-dogs-at-parkAccording to police, a 25-year-old woman saw the 55-year-old man on the light rail line shortly before it pulled up to the station near the park, singing, dancing and displaying bizarre behavior.
When he arrived at the park shortly after 10 a.m., he approached three men and their two leashed dogs, one of them a female 5-year-old brindled pit bull mix named Chica, according to the dog's previous owner.
"He asks them if they're selling marijuana, but they blow him off," said San Jose police Sgt. Jason Dwyer. "Then he hits one of the dogs with the saw, it yelps and the second dog jumps in and bites him."
Dwyer said the first dog suffered a small cut to the nose, but when he struck the pit bull mix while she was attacking him, the saw left a 3-inch gash a quarter inch deep on top of her head.

Guess who rides right through this park on light rail every weekday? This guy!!
edit: Looks like Chica stood her ground!
