- The incident took place in Birmingham as the innocent dog walker went about her day
A criminal who was caught on camera kicking a small dog in the head could be locked up after admitting animal cruelty.

A court heard how a female dog owner was innocently walking her dog in the Kitts Green area of Birmingham on June 17.
Although the woman and her pet were not in the way of the driveway, Thompson got out of his red car and walked toward them.

The distraught woman bends down to tend to the injured animal, which continues to scream for several seconds as Thompson gets back in his car and drives away.
The footage, obtained by blog Birmz is Grime, sparked outrage after it was posted on social media, prompting West Midlands Police to launch an investigation.
Thompson was identified by police and arrested at his home address in Kitts Green, where he subsequently became abusive towards officers and racially abused them.
On September 9, he pleaded guilty at Birmingham District Court to causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.

Thompson was also charged with possession of class B drugs, two counts of using threatening language and behaviour and two counts of racially aggravated harassment.
His sentence will be announced at Birmingham Crown Court on October 7.
Detective Constable Peta Haynes, of Birmingham Police, said: ‘This case understandably caused outrage when the video was shared on social media. Officers were able to quickly identify the offender and bring him to justice.
‘This was a very traumatic incident for the woman, who was simply walking her dog when Thompson verbally abused and kicked her in an unprovoked attack.
Thompson also racially abused our officers during his arrest.
“Our officers risk their lives every day to protect our communities. This level of abuse is simply unacceptable.”
‘We want to send a clear message to people that this type of behaviour is unacceptable and that measures will be taken.’
