SUMMARY: Investigators in DeKalb County are seeking public assistance to identify a man caught on surveillance video dragging two dogs from his car bumper. The incident, which occurred on September 13 at the Redan Recreation Center, was alarming as the man briefly exited his dark-colored Chevrolet Malibu, untied the dogs, and drove away to conceal his license plate. Tragically, one of the dogs, a medium-sized black mix, did not survive, while the other, a brindle mix, has found a new home. The driver faces two counts of felony aggravated animal cruelty, potentially resulting in a decade in prison and a $30,000 fine.

Disturbing video out of DeKalb County as investigators hope someone will be able to identify a man seen dragging two dogs from his car bumper. This video shows the September incident at a county recreation center.

SUMMARY: A Saudi doctor drove his car into a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing four women, aged 45 to 75, and a 9-year-old boy, injuring 200 others.
