London police say they have made an arrest in relation to an animal cruelty investigation.
Police say 28-year-old Kyle Langford turned himself in to the London Police Service Thursday morning.
On Wednesday, police issued an arrest warrant for Langford, on a charge of willfully causing unnecessary pain to an animal.
Officers say they were contacted by concerned citizens last Thursday, who reported seeing a man repeatedly striking the animal. The incident was captured on video.
“Within the video, a male can be seen striking a dog numerous times and grabbing it by the collar as well,” explained Const. Peter Keane.
On Tuesday, police said the dog was reunited with its owner and is safe and uninjured.
“If anyone sees an animal being abused, we’d encourage them to contact the London Police Service or the Humane Society.”
Langford is schedule to appear in London court Thursday.
