A man has been filmed punching his dog in the face while people stood and watched him.

In the footage, which was allegedly filmed in Doncaster, a man grabs the dog’s collar before striking it several times.

He then drags the hurt pup by its neck to a bike before the video stops.

In total three people can be seen standing around while the man attacks the dog with none of them stopping the violence.

The video, which was uploaded by CrimeLDN on Twitter, has been circulated on social media and on Sunday afternoon South Yorkshire Police commented on the footage.

The force said a man has been arrested and they are now seeking witnesses to the incident.

A police spokeswoman said: ‘Police investigating a video showing a man hitting a dog in the face have arrested a 26-year-old man from Doncaster in connection with the incident.

‘He has been released under investigation. The welfare of the dog has been checked and it has been removed from his custody.’
