Pit bull-y imagined a ‘robot’

A DRUGGED-OUT Manhattan man sicced his pit bull on a fellow junkie in Midtown because he thought he was a robot, police sources said.

Patrick Walsh, 34, gave the bizarre explanation to cops after his dog attacked Bryan Schmitt, 27, of Yorktown, Westchester County, in his luxury high-rise on W. 47th St. near Eighth Ave.

“He’s a robot and he’s trying to kill me,” Walsh, a physician’s assistant, told cops.

Walsh argued bitterly with Schmitt at the ritzy building and then they got physical before the pooch jumped into the fray.

The attack left Schmitt with gashes on his arms, legs and chest.

Heavily armed emergency service cops corralled the dog and placed it with the city Center for Animal Care and Control.

The fight trashed apartment 9-J and left bloodstains on the walls and floor.

Inside Walsh’s flat, cops found a mountain of drugs, including 96 oxycodone pills, 29 amphetamine pills and six bags of crystal meth, prosecutors said.

Walsh and Schmitt have been charged with assault, reckless endangerment, drug possession and use of drug paraphernalia.

At Walsh’s arraignment, prosecutors said the deranged man kicked Schmitt in the face while the dog was mauling him.

Walsh’s lawyer said Schmitt instigated the fight.

That argument didn’t move the judge who ordered Walsh held on $25,000 bond.
