Officers investigating a report of animal cruelty in Bournemouth are appealing for anyone with information to come forward and issuing images of a man and his dog they would like to identify.

At 9.55am on Friday 18 February 2022 Dorset Police received a report that a man was seen shouting at a black and white Staffy-type dog in Wimborne Road in Kinson. He was reportedly then seen to strike the dog twice to the head with a closed fist.

The man walked off in the direction of the Northbourne Roundabout.

Police Constable Elliot Penn, of Bournemouth police, said: “We are carrying out enquiries into this incident and have obtained images of a man and his dog we would like to identify.

“I appreciate they are not the best quality, but I am appealing to anyone who recognises the man, or who has any information that might assist our investigation to please come forward.”
