Sliwa leads local search for suspect who burned dog in South Ozone Park, police make arrest after tip from Good Samaritan

Police say they arrested the man who was allegedly caught on surveillance video setting a dog on fire in South Ozone Park last week.

According to police sources, a Good Samaritan spotted 29-year-old Isaiah K. Gurley at the Queens Center Mall on Monday afternoon wearing the same clothing as the man depicted in surveillance footage. The keen-eyed New Yorker dialed 911 and cops from the Animal Cruelty Squad took him into custody without incident.
