Unsettling footage captures a Los Angeles man being requested to move his white BMW before he viciously strikes a dog in the face in the corridor of an apartment complex.
The guy who was seen on Ring doorbell surveillance viciously assaulting his dog is wanted by the Anaheim Police Department. He was last seen wearing a black Emirates soccer shirt.
The huge, fluffy dog was cornered by the unnamed guy before being struck in the head, according to CCTV video that a building resident released online.
The guy kicks the dog repeatedly before attaching his leash to him as the dog cowers in the corner trying to flee.
The police released a still image of the man, who has still not been identified
An LA man was seen brutally beating a dog in an apartment building hallway after he reportedly got mad when he was asked to move his car, a building resident claimed
He was seen punching and kicking the dog, who cowered in the corner and attempted to miss the man’s assault
He then dragged the dog down the hallway before he reportedly left in a white BMW
As the two walk quickly down the hallway, the man kicks out again and the dog unsuccessfully tries to dodge the impact.
The dog is kicked at least three more times as the man leads it down the hallway of the Gateway apartment complex near Angel Stadium.
Resident Kris Kelly, who posted the video, said the man was angry after being asked to move his white BMW. She claimed he later took off in the car.
Locals began tagging the Anaheim Police Department and Sergeant Shane Carringer told KTLA that he ‘knew immediately’ it would be something the department investigated.
Police are still looking for the man and have not pressed criminal charges yet.
Local dog owners are expressing their disgust at the video, claiming they’d never do the same, no matter how mad they were.
Alex Cannas told KTLA: ‘As a dog owner, I would never kick my dog in the face, no matter how bad she did something. It’s not easy to look at.’
Cheyenne Martinez expressed shock when she saw the video, saying: ‘How can you treat a dog like that? It had no perception of anything.’
The incident took place at the Gateway apartments (pictured), near Angel Stadium
