UPDATE: Dangerous Dog Concealed by Owners, Police Say

UPDATE: July 12, 9:39 a.m.: A vicious bulldog who took a bite out of a victim in Bayside today is being hidden by its owners, a police source said.

The dog was not at its home at 69th Ave. and 225th St. when police came to collect it for rabies testing. Its owners would not say where their pet, who was tied to an outdoor zip line when he locked teeth onto a passerby, was hidden. 

The family's neighbors were also allegedly in cahoots to hide the dog from NYPD.

"They weren't assisting us—they were playing games," said a spokesman for the 111th Precinct. 

Police believe the owners feared that the dog would be destroyed. At least four people suspected of concealing the animal were charged with obstructing governmental administration.

Police said they were searching for a dog Tuesday morning after it attacked a man in Bayside.

A spokesman for the 111^th Precinct said the victim was “severely bitten” by the dog at 69^th Avenue and 225^th Street.

It was unclear whether the dog, which was described as a tan, 90-pound pit bull, has been caught.
