Officials are searching for a man reportedly caught beating his dog on camera in Baldwin.

It happened just after 1 a.m. on Dec. 26 outside a home on Stratford Road, officials say.

Nassau SPCA officials are worried this violence could be taking place at home.

"This is a precursor, you know, to violent crime, and is there domestic violence going on at home? Is there a child in the house that's subject to the same outrageous anger that we saw in this video? Or even a domestic partner?" says Gary Rogers, of the Nassau SPCA.

Anyone with information is asked to call the SPCA at 516-843-7722.
