Man allegedly kicks dog twice in Toa Payoh, tells elderly owner 'you're in the way'
The second kick landed on the dog's abdomen.
An incident in Toa Payoh allegedly saw a man kick a dog twice, reportedly telling the elderly owner "you're in the way." Nina Tan, the dog's owner, recounted the incident where her 78-year-old father and 72-year-old mother were walking their Cavapoo, Truffle, when the man approached them. Despite the man's awareness of Truffle's temperament and the potential for a reaction, he continued to approach them, despite ample space around them.
Truffle reacted to the man, leading to the alleged kicks. Tan's parents were shaken by the incident, fearing retaliation and their own safety, while Truffle is recovering from injuries sustained in the incident.
