The Portland Police Bureau is asking for the public's help in identifying and locating a man suspected of abusing a dog.

On August 2, 2024, at an apartment building in the 500 block of Northeast Holladay Street, security cameras captured a man repeatedly abusing a dog. The abuse included hitting the dog with a heavy rope and hanging the dog from a fire extinguisher so it could be repeatedly kicked.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 6'0" in height, and 175 pounds. He is known to congregate at businesses near the intersection of Northeast Grand Avenue and Northeast Holladay Street.

PPB is providing video of the abuse that happened in an elevator in an effort to locate the suspect. Viewer discretion is advised.
