Dog Mauls Long Island Boy After Three Men Hold Him Over Fence: Police
Police are still searching for two of the men who attacked the boy, as well as a motive for the assault.

Nassau police arrested one man and are searching for two more who held a teenage boy over a fence so a dog could maul him in Hempstead on Saturday.
According to police, Christian Siley, 18, of West Columbia Street, Hemsptead, along with two other men who haven't been arrested yet, grabbed a 14-year-old boy and held him over a fence in the 100 block of Cornell Street. Police say the boy was dangled sideways over the fence by the three men, which alerted the pit bull in the yard. The dog bit the boy three times in the leg.
The teen was taken to a hospital, where he received stitches on his leg and was released. Police say the teen knew Siley, but the cause for the assault is unknown.
