MIAMI — Evan Motlong says an evening jog with his dog in Wynwood ended with both of them seriously injured after an alleged attack by a stranger and two unleashed pit bulls.

Motlong, 30, said he was jogging with his dog near Northwest Second Avenue and 22nd Street Wednesday night when the two dogs charged at them.

“When I saw the dogs run after my dog -- all I could think about was saving her. That’s my baby. That’s my child,” Motlong said.

He said the pit bulls attacked his dog, biting her while she screamed.

“Just like that I see his two pit bulls on top of my dog, biting her. She’s screaming and yelping in pain,” he said.

Motlong said he managed to pull the dogs away and began calling 911. But he says the other man then ordered the dogs to attack him.

As he tried to fight them off, Motlong said the man shoved him to the ground and punched him so hard that he was knocked unconscious.

“This dude hit me when I was on the ground, and I was unconscious,” he said.

Cellphone video recorded by a witness shows Motlong lying motionless on the sidewalk while the man he accuses of attacking him walks away and kicks his cellphone. Local 10 News is blurring the man’s face because police have not charged him.

Photos taken at the hospital show Motlong’s injuries. He said he suffered several fractures and may need surgery.

Photos also show injuries to his German shepherd, which suffered a broken leg.

“I just want to get justice for myself and my dog,” Motlong said.

Motlong said he has filed a police report but says nothing has been done so far.

He wants the other man arrested and his two dogs taken away.

“We were just running and she was almost killed for nothing, you know. And I was on the ground and a guy hits me in the face with intent, you know, whatever intent. And he’s basically walking free,” Motlong said.
