A man videoed kicking a cat has been arrested after an internet campaign on social media helped police find him.
Andre Robinson lured the friendly feline with a stroke of the head before telling friends: ‘Watch this.’
Mr Robinson then kicked the unsuspecting animal and, according to the police report, the cat flew around 20 feet.
Veterinarians had expressed concern due to the likelihood of serious injury to the animal and, although it has been suggested the same cat was later found safe and well, police officers have stated they are still looking for it.
Mr Robinson has been arrested by New York Police Department for aggravated criminal assault, after the video was shared thousands of times on social media.
This led to members of the public on Facebook and Twitter recognising the exact location of the vicious attack and, later, the perpetrator himself.
