A 47-year-old man trying to break up a dog fight on a Harlem street Sunday night ended up pepper-sprayed and slashed by the dogs' owners. The incident occurred around 8 p.m. on West 125th Street when the Good Samaritan intervened as two dogs became aggressive with each other. Instead of thanking him, the owners turned on the man, attacking him with pepper spray and a blade. Police are investigating the assault.
