The RSPCA is delving deeper into footage of a man caught verbally abusing and roughly treating a dog in Bradford.

The charity received a couple of calls about the man who was caught on camera near Girlington Road/Willow Street.

The incident happened at 3.30pm on Thursday, June 6.

RSPCA inspector Gemma Fowler said: "I am worried about this dog and am very keen to check that he or she is okay.

“The area was quite busy as there is a school nearby which had just turned out."

The man has a tattoo of three stars on the right of his neck and his right ear is pierced with a stud. He was wearing black jeans, a black coat and a camouflage coloured cap. He was wearing black Adidas trainers with white stripes.

The dog is a tan and white bull terrier type, and was wearing a red harness with a black rope lead.

Anyone who thinks they can help should call the RSPCA inspector appeal line on 0300 123 8018 and ask to leave a message for Inspector Fowler.

The RSPCA inspector said: “I want to hear from him, or anyone who knows who he is, as soon as possible.”
