Crazed Prospect Park ‘dog killer’  back to his old ways, threatens to shoot pet owner

He’s one of man’s best friend’s worst enemies.

The crazed, stick-toting Brooklyn vagrant who infamously killed a golden retriever named Moose in Prospect Park three years ago is back to “terrorizing” both human and beast alike, victims told The Post.

Moose’s owner, Jessica Chrustic, revealed this week that her dog’s maniacal murderer “threatened to shoot me with a gun” on April 23 outside the Picnic House in the park.

“I filed a police report, and still, nothing’s been done,” she said. “This man is allowed to exist in this public space and continue to threaten people.”

The unhinged hobo lunged at another woman’s dog last weekend near Grand Army Plaza.

“I was really caught off guard because it was just so startling,” said the latest victim who asked to remain anonymous and described the man as “extraordinarily aggressive.”

“I was just walking along with my dog, and he sort of emerged from out of nowhere,” the still-shaken pooch owner recalled . “I didn’t want to turn around and maybe give him a reason to say something to me, so I kept going.”

Then, as the woman and her pooch — a 6-year-old miniature schnauzer — crossed his path, “this a–hole made a move towards my dog — basically lunging at him, as if he was going to hit my dog.

“He started saying something to me about my dog, but I didn’t understand what he was saying –and wasn’t sticking around to find out.”

She pulled the pooch closer to her, picked up the pace, and left the park.

“Someone like that shouldn’t be out in public, threatening or trying to intimidate people,” she said.

The dreadlocked creep still totes a terrifying 5-foot-long stick, which Chrustic has said he used to pummel tragic 2-and-a-half-year-old Moose to death on Aug. 3, 2002, she said. He was never arrested or charged in the incident.

After Moose’s killing, Chrustic told The Post she was distressed by the NYPD’s “disinterest” in the case. She also chided local Councilmember Shahana Hanif for “expressing her greatest concern for the well-being of the attacker and not the man’s victims.”

Hanif did not respond to requests for comment.

“There is one man in a park who is consistently terrorizing that space, threatening people,” Chrustic said, adding she’s reminded of the pain of that terrible day three years ago whenever she sees him wandering around the famed greenspace.

Chrustic doesn’t want any other dog suffering Moose’s fate.

Chrustic has spotted the man a handful of times this year.

“My personal understanding is [the police] don’t want to deal with mentally ill people,” Chrustic said. “If there was a mentally ill person pushing people onto the subway tracks, something would’ve been done by now.”

The NYPD and Parks Department did not return messages seeking comment.
