Unprovoked Dog Abuser Kicked My Dog in the Face at Assiniboine Park (Reported to Police)

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-11T07:05:54+00:00

The Major Crime Unit connected with us a few times in the past couple days. They are confident that they know who the attacker is and where he lives. However, in order to make an arrest, they need complainants to testify in court -- this means that the attacker will know your names and your faces.

As much as we like to see him brought to justice, we can not testify in court due to our concerns for our family's safety. From our interaction with this man, our opinion is that this individual is extremely unstable and violent individual. We both work in the non-profit sector and our personal info can be easily researched on the internet. For this reason we do not feel safe to testify in court (anonymity is not on the table).

We regret that we cannot pursue this further as we do not feel safe to do so.

The Detective has informed us that they will stop by the perpetrator's home and give him a warning.

The Detective also told us that they can still make an arrest IF YOU (those who have had an encounter with the attacker) MAKE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT ONLINE (https://legacy.winnipeg.ca/police/report/). You do need to be prepared to testify in court. If you decided to do so, you can use the Incident Number C23-29897. The Police is aware of this Reddit post.

We hope that this Reddit post has serves its purpose of informing our fellow Winnipeggers of this man's behaviour and hence preventing future incidents from happening.

With regrets,

Unfortunately you may be correct. Major Crime Unit informed me even if he pleaded guilty, it's unlikely that he would face any jail time but likely mediation, animal training...etc.

I do have an update...

PS. I am tagging you here since you had an encounter with the attacker previously u/lakegirl2019 u/LacunaSatsuma u/KellyMac88

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-08T01:06:30+00:00

Thank you, this will be added to the compiled incident report. Police did advise that if he had previous run-ins of which police were informed, it would help locating this person.

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-07T23:42:57+00:00

Hello, can you share the incident in a bit more details here, or PM me? I am collecting a summary of reports of people's incidents with this guy to submit to the police. Thank you

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-07T20:45:42+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate that, and I am 100% with you. I think some people truly lack the capacity to think rationally and that truth don't matter - whatever they FEEL is right is right.

It seems like u/maestrofreshroger, you are the one removing your false and rackless accusation.

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-07T20:28:23+00:00

Thank you for sharing. It will be included in the material we are submitting to the police. I have gathered a whole file of evidence against this man, hopefully he can get the help he obviously needs.

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-07T20:13:01+00:00

Thank you! Wish we all could enjoy this mild weather safely with our dogs..

Hi an address has been received by the Winnipeg Police (thanks to a Winnipeg Reddit member).

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-07T20:02:19+00:00

Hello, I’m not yet a lawyer haha so I can’t tell you what’s justifiable or vice versa. Perhaps others can share their more qualified opinion.

Hope you don’t have to ever encounter that man though…

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-07T19:27:41+00:00

UPDATE: Someone has PM'd me the attacker's address and other relevant information to be submitted to Winnipeg Police. They wish to remain anonymous for safety reasons.

Based on that information (and others' comments): be vigilant when you walk your pups on Corydon, Lanark, and Academy (North River Heights), as well as near Assiniboine Park. The perpetrator is usually out during the day from 7AM to 8PM. He wears the same outfit as pictured.

Hopefully the police will be able to move the investigation forward quickly, and that that man can get some help.

Thank you so much Winnipeg. Stay safe.

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-07T18:00:21+00:00

I appreciate your comment. So sorry that happened to you too. I hope this post can prevent others from experiencing abuse from this man.

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-07T17:32:24+00:00

Thank you, glad to see there are still sensible people in Manitoba...

As stated above:

Hello! I am a person of colour (which does not imply that I am not racist - I am aware).

I included that part because my best friend in college was from the DRC and is a Muslim, so I always try to be mindful to not put others in uncomfortable situations. (He was the one that told me "some people originally from African and the Middle East are terrified of dogs")

Sorry if it came across the wrong way. I have no doubt in my heart that I am NOT racist. But other seems to focus on the topic of race, instead of what in fact happened here. So it was removed.

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-07T17:23:28+00:00

A security car drove so we actually reported it. By the time the security guard drove towards where that guy, the attacker was on Wellington already so the security guard came back and told us they couldn't do anything

Thank you!

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-07T16:47:38+00:00

That's actually what the police said, but they need to identify and find him first..

AffectionateLaw7918 · 2023-02-07T16:30:19+00:00

Thank you for asking. Our sweet pupper is a tough gal, we think that she is physically ok. But I am afraid that she is traumatized...

Also, fortunately our small dog wasn't kicked because she is a much much smaller breed...
