Long Beach police on Tuesday night, April 22, arrested the suspect in the 800 block of Pine Avenue. The tan dog with floppy ears was rescued and taken to Long Beach Animal Care Services. Police said they plan to share updates on the dog’s condition “when appropriate, as the investigation remains ongoing.”

The Long Beach Police Department arrested a man Wednesday believed to be responsible for attacking a dog on video.

The video showed a man slamming the dog into the ground. “This type of cruelty has no place in our community,” Police Chief Wally Hebeish said.
