According to the RSPCA, a dog was attacked by a man who repeatedly pounded the animal.
The event was captured on CCTV outside the Manor Community Childcare Centre on Vikinglea Road in Sheffield.

The dog “was yelping in pain and fighting to get free” before escaping and fleeing, according to an animal charity spokeswoman.
RSPCA inspector Jack Taylor issued an information request, calling it a “nasty attack on a defenseless animal.”
According to Mr. Taylor, the CCTV footage shows one of the males punching the dog, a bull cross breed, many times in the head and body after being brought beneath a traffic bridge.
The incident occurred at about 14:00 BST and included three males.
“Looking at the film, it appears the Dog escapes, and then two of the men proceed to seek for it,” Mr. Taylor said.
“One of them transports the Dog to a location beneath the bridge when the third man arrives and begins hitting the animal. He gave the Dog a good swat.”

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the charity.
