WAIANAE, Hawaii (KITV) — A 22-year-old man remains in police custody, after a video of him swinging a dog by its limbs went viral.
Honolulu police arrested the man Tuesday afternoon on suspicion of second-degree animal cruelty and a warrant. He has not been charged at this time.
The video posted on social media showed what looked like the man swinging a puppy while walking in Waianae.
The Hawaiian Humane Society reposted pictures of the video, saying the man was “subjecting a dog to cruelty.” It asked the community to help in its search for both the suspect and the dog.
The dog was located and is now safe.
