Video footage allegedly shows an RSPCA inspector being punched in the face while trying to investigate a suspected case of animal abuse in Perth.
The inspector was allegedly assaulted while trying to attend to a report of a dog being strung up in a barn in a semi-rural part of Perth.
When the inspector arrived at the Cardup property on Monday afternoon, the residents allegedly became abusive and aggressive.
It’s claimed the worker was allegedly punched in the face during a scuffle.
The RSPCA is working with police to file a formal complaint against the alleged male attacker.
If charged and convicted, the offender could spend time in jail for assaulting a public officer.
