Video shows a man taking a whimpering 7-month-old puppy and dropping it down three stories at a Koreatown apartment building.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call in the 4000 block of Oakwood Avenue after residents in the building told officers about the man tossing the dog down the stairs. The man in the video, 27-year-old Joeboury Coleman, was detained in an alley near the Los Angeles apartment building.
Coleman has been booked for animal cruelty and is being held on $0 bail, the LAPD said.
The dog has since been taken to a local animal shelter, and is likely in need of surgery to fix her broken leg. LAPD said the dog is also being treated for poor nutrition.
