A group of people beat a man in an attack caught on camera after they say they witnessed him beating a small dog on a leash on a Hollywood street. “I pulled over and started chasing him,” actress Jena Malone, who appeared in films like “The Hunger Games” and “Stepmom,” said. “Because it’s absolutely not OK.” People, like Malone, passing by on Sunset Boulevard began pulling over to get out of their cars and help.
Speaking to NBCLA's cameraman just before police arrived, the man – who police have not identified – said he didn’t think the dog was hurt.LA criminal law attorney Andrew Leventhal reviewed the footage and he said the altercation leading up to rescuing the dog is probably fair.“I mean it looks like the dog was already being taken care of at that point. So technically could the prosecution file charges against the men beating up the animal abuser? Yeah, technically they could," he said.
The dog was taken by animal control. There was no update on its condition except that it appeared alert after the beating.
