A British Columbian man has filmed a bizarre encounter with a woman he claims kicked his dog in the ribs “completely out of nowhere”.

Burnaby man Dean Borosevich posted a video of a woman hitting him repeatedly and trying to wrestle his dog leash away from him to YouTube last Sunday .

During the prolonged encounter the woman accuses Mr Borosevich of having assaulted her, before two bystanders intervene to ask what is going on.

One of them – a woman who appears to be walking her own dog – claims the woman has also approached and punched her for reasons unknown.

“I didn’t even talk to you!” the woman protests.

“You know what? Get lost. Seriously. Get out of here.

“You come up and you punch me?”

A second witness suggests both Mr Borosevich and the alleged dog-kicker go their separate ways.

Mr Borosevich expresses incredulity at the idea of the woman getting away with her alleged behaviour.

“You’ll walk away scot-free after kicking my dog until she yelps?” he protests.

Mr Borosevich told Global News the woman justified her actions earlier by telling him she “hated dogs”.

Global News reports the same woman has reportedly attacked a number of other dogs and their owners.

The Burnaby Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has told 9news.com.au it has received a complaint regarding an alleged assault on a dog and is investigating.
