Police would like to speak with a man who allegedly kicked a dog at the Queen’s Park dog park last month.
The incident happened on Monday, June 4. According to the New Westminster Police Department, a man, who was at the park with his own dog, allegedly kicked another dog before running off. Officers were called, but the man was already gone.
Flyers circulating on social media allege there have been two incidents of the man kicking a dog at the park. In both cases, the flyer alleges the attacks were unprovoked.
New Westminster Police, however, could only confirm the June 4 incident.
“A New Westminster resident reportedly had her dog off leash when it lunged at a male who was running by with his dog. The man allegedly kicked her dog several times before leaving,” police wrote in an email to the Record.
The victim dog was uninjured in the attack, but police would like to speak with the man involved. He is described as a Caucasian, 35-years-old with a medium build and sandy brown hair. He is about five-foot-eleven and was wearing a T-shirt and shorts at the time of the incident.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the New Westminster Police Department at 604-525-5411.
