THE RSPCA is hunting a man who allegedly hurled a dog out of the window of a car and onto a busy road in East Yorkshire.

The animal welfare charity was contacted by a woman who had witnessed the incident and rescued the petrified Jack Russell from the side of Hazel Old Lane in Hensall, near Goole.

While frightened, the dog was not injured.

The car was described as a grey, people carrier and the man driving was described as being of slim build, around 6ft 2ins tall, with greying hair going bald on top, and a looped earring in his left ear.

Phone the RSPCA with information on 0300 123 8018.
