A Facebook user, Grace Yeo, shared how she was walking her dog at Robertson Quay when a jogger allegedly snatched her dog’s leash and flung the little creature to the railing on the side.
What happened?
The incident happened at around 7.25am yesterday (7 June), along the Singapore River.
She was walking in the middle of the pathway and her dog was on the grass, when an Ang Moh in his 40s/50s ran up from behind her and grabbed her dog’s leash from her.
He then flung the leash towards the railing, flinging her dog along with it.
She was in shock and didn’t realise immediately if her dog was in pain.
Yeo also didn’t notice the man until he grabbed the leash from her, and he continued running after flinging the leash.
Chased after him
Yeo then chased after him to confront him, asking him why he did that, and the man allegedly said:
“Your dog was blocking my way! Watch your dog!”
Yeo then apologised for blocking his way, but highlighted that he didn’t have the right to hurt her dog.
She then tried to take a photo of him to make a police report but the fella ran away; she did manage to take a picture of his back though, describing the Ang Moh as “white, tall and slender.”
Police report made
A police report is understood to have been made.
Yeo added that she no longer feels safe walking her dog.
In an update to her post, she shared that the Ang Moh was spotted by someone who sent her pictures of him, which she sent to the police.
