A good Samaritan was beaten to a pulp with a wooden bat in the Bronx when he stepped in to stop his alleged assailant from abusing a dog, police and sources said Monday.

Rubin Bartley, 34, was charged with attempted murder for bludgeoning the 35-year-old victim during a fight at East 135th Street and Third Avenue in Mott Haven around 3:45 p.m. Sunday, cops said.

Bartley was allegedly beating his dog, a female doberman, and knocked the victim to the ground when he tried to intervene, according to police sources.

The suspect went to his car and came back with a wooden bat — and the two men began grappling on the ground, the sources said.

Bartley then allegedly got up and began repeatedly pummeling the do-gooder with the bat, breaking his jaw, according to the sources.

The victim was taken to Lincoln Medical Center in stable condition with trauma to his face and head, cops said.

I hope the Good Samaritan recovers quickly, and that the pooch will find a home with someone who will love her.

The bat-wielding man accused of pummeling a good Samaritan who tried to stop him from abusing his dog in the Bronx allegedly admitted, “I beat his ass,” prosecutors said — as the suspect’s sister maintained Tuesday he was innocent and acting in self defense.

Rubin Bartley, 34, was charged with attempted murder for bludgeoning 35-year-old Marlon Hay – who remained hospitalized in a medically induced coma – during a fight Sunday afternoon at East 135th Street and Third Avenue in Mott Haven, cops said.

“I beat him,” Bartley admitted to police, according to the criminal complaint against him. “I beat his ass.”

The suspect was allegedly roughing up his female Doberman when Hay tried to intervene, according to police sources.

But then Bartley turned his attention to Hay, punching and knocking him to the ground before going to retrieve a wooden bat from his car, according to sources and prosecutors.

Bartley’s older sister denied that her brother had been beating his dog, and accused Hay of being the aggressor.

“My brother was outside walking his dog. And I’ve seen my brother – my brother raised pit bulls and Rottweilers and things of that nature. And yeah, he’s a little rough, but he’s not abusive,” April Pringle, who lives in Maryland, told The Post.

“And then the guy, I guess, intervened and asked him, you know, why he’s abusing the dog. They had words,” Pringle added. “They fought, and [Hay] went in his car to go get a bat, and my brother went to [get] the bat and took it and beat him with it. What would you have done?”

“So he defended himself, and I would have done the same thing,” she argued. “My brother is written up like he’s a monster.”

No hunni, your brother isn't the victim here. Weak try. Better prepare yourself for some reality, since it doesn't seem like that's a place you visit very often...

The Samaritan clocked himself up some good karma. I hope he heals soon. People who try to protect others should be protected at all costs.
