Knife-Wielding Man Fought Off By Dog Owner In OC Saturday: Report

WESTMINSTER, CA — A man was arrested Saturday after he reportedly held a pit bull in a headlock while holding a knife at a strip mall in Westminster, the OC Register reported.

According to the report, the owner of the dog had parked his truck at a strip mall in the 16400 block of Magnolia Saturday afternoon. He went inside of a store, and left his pit bull in the truck's front seats, the report said.
