A 70-year-old man that tied a dog to the back of a vehicle and dragged it along a road is expected to be arrested and released, police said on Saturday, as he was due to appear at the police station.

According to police spokesman Christos Andreou, the case against the man will be filed in court on Monday.

The incident was posted on social media by the dog’s rescuer.

The woman that rescued the dog said that she stopped the vehicle, and that after her pleas the driver stopped, left the dog, and drove away.
