A man will face court later this month after a dog died of stab wounds at Airds this morning, NSW Police say.
About 12.20am today, a 34-year-old man and 45-year-old woman were drinking outside a residence on Hazeldean Place, when the woman’s pet dog became spooked by fireworks.
Police have been told the dog bit a 26-year-old man who was at a nearby house, before the man allegedly stabbed the dog.
The animal was taken to a local vet, but had to be euthanized due to the extent of the injuries.
Police were called and the man was arrested. He was charged with torture and beat/cause death of animal, stalk/intimidate and trespass, and granted conditional bail to appear at Campbelltown Local Court on 23 January 2017.
The man sustained lacerations to his leg and groin.
