Hunt For Man Who Punched Dog


Hunt For Man Who Punched  Dog

Named suspects are being sought in the hunt for a man seen repeatedly punching a dog in a Norwich street.

CCTV footage showed the man striking the unknown breed four times after attaching a lead in Jex Road.


RSPCA inspector Laura Sayer said the punches were landed with "considerable force" and the dog showed "clear signs of fear".

The RSPCA said a "number of names" had been put forward in connection with the attack at 13:30 GMT on 9 February.


The charity said it had not been able to establish the breed of the dog but it was believed to be a "bull breed type", with white markings on its front leg and chest.

The dog is seen wandering loose in the footage, filmed from a camera at a nearby property. The man punches the animal four times on the side before attaching a lead to its collar.


An RSPCA spokesman said: "We have had several names put forward and we are investigating.

"We are pleased that there has been such a strong response from the public to what happened."

He said no arrests had been made.
