The dog that killed a smaller dog and injured its owner earlier this week was found on Thursday, Toronto police said.

A man was also charged after the incident earlier this week, according to police.

Police say the attack happened on Tuesday afternoon near Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue W.

Ring camera video obtained by CBC Toronto shows a person walking with the dog outside a community centre before the dog runs toward someone pushing a stroller and walking a smaller dog. 

In the footage, a woman can be heard screaming and the person can be seen running over to the larger dog and pulling it away by its collar.

Video captures off-leash dog killing small dog, injuring owner

Toronto police are warning the public of a potentially dangerous dog that attacked a smaller dog and its owner. As CBC’s Naama Weingarten shows, the moment was captured by a ring camera in the area.

The small dog died due to the attack, and the woman was injured, police said. Police said they were looking for a “pit bull mix” following the incident.

A 40-year-old man is facing several charges following the incident including criminal negligence causing bodily harm; obstructing a police officer; dog biting a person; and failing to prevent dog from biting or attacking, police said in a news release on Wednesday.

The dog was found around 8 p.m. Thursday near where the attack happened, police said Friday. 

The investigation remains ongoing, police said.
