A man was charged with killing a dog by attacking him with a machete. The incident occurred on a city street, authorities said. Witnesses told police the dog - a pit bull - was stabbed as it was being walked by two boys.
The dog died shortly after being treated by a veterinarian. Joseph Irons, 19, has been charged with felony aggravated cruelty to animals and misdemeanor criminal possession of a weapon, Binghamton police said.
