B’klyn pit bull drama

-

COPS WERE called in to corral a rogue pit bull terrifying neighbors in Brooklyn on Tuesday.

The ferocious 150-pound canine snarled and snapped at NYPD Emergency Service Unit cops during a standoff on the stoop of a home on E. 51st St. near Avenue S in Mill Basin, the police said.

The police were called to the area about 10:15 a.m. after residents saw the dog — which had a padlocked thick metal chain as a collar — wandering around the neighborho­od.

Cops had to shoot the pooch with a tranquiliz­er dart to make it drowsy enough to get a lasso around its neck and take it into custody.

Officials from Animal Care Centers of NYC took the dog and are trying to find its owner.
