The woman, wearing a dark beanie, black trousers and a striped jumper, then appears to kick his Shiba Inu.

The raging owner immediately knocked her to the ground surrounded by a crowd of youths all dressed in black as a voice is heard screaming “oh my god.” 

North Yorkshire Police confirmed a woman was arrested on suspicion of racially-aggravated assault and causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.

She was also quizzed on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and possession of class B drugs and has been released on bail while police enquiries continue.

The victim revealed his dog, which darted off after the attack, is okay but “a bit scared" after the attack at 8.10pm on Tuesday.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "A woman has been arrested in connection with an attack on a man and his dog on Hob Moor in York on Tuesday 9 June 2020.

"Video footage of the incident had been circulated on social media. A number of members of the public contacted North Yorkshire Police with information about the incident.
