Incident summary

Mediaite, citing the New York Post and police, reported that Fox Business host Jackie DeAngelis was bitten on the left hand by a dog inside the Whole Foods at 10 Columbus Circle on September 20, 2023. Police told the Post the dog and its owner had left before officers arrived. DeAngelis later filed a negligence lawsuit against Whole Foods and alleged that the bite required surgery and left lasting scarring and limited mobility.

Legal-status note

DeAngelis filed a civil negligence complaint against Whole Foods in Manhattan Supreme Court on August 20, 2026, alleging the store failed to enforce its animal policy and that the dog was not a service animal. Those assertions, including allegations of permanent damages and negligence, are civil allegations and not adjudicated findings. The reviewed reports do not identify the dog owner or establish a criminal disposition.
