George Sinowiec said he's familiar with the dog. When he heard yelling, he ran out of his home.
"I was able to sit down on him, I'm a big guy so my weight was able to keep him down," he said. "And I had to stay there until the cops arrived."
Chicago police confirmed they responded to that block for a report of a vicious dog.
