A man captured on a homeowner’s Ring camera hitting and kicking a dog in the hallway of an apartment complex has been identified by police.
The man has not yet been arrested and charged for animal cruelty but the investigation is still underway.
The Anaheim Police Department began their investigation last week after the troubling video was posted on social media.
A resident of the Gateway Apartment Homes in Anaheim, California had reviewed their home surveillance system and ended up posting the shocking video to social media. According to Inside Edition, the police were not notified but became aware of the video online after it was shared multiple times and the department was repeatedly contacted.
The disturbing video shows a man using his fists to beat the black dog and then kick it before grabbing the dog’s leash and pulling him/her down the hall.
