Details of a man who was arrested after allegedly abusing police while walking his dog have emerged.

Details of a man who was arrested after allegedly abusing police while walking his dog have emerged.

The man was swarmed by a squad of police at Queens Park in the city’s eastern suburbs after reports of a man allegedly being “verbally aggressive in the park”.

The Daily Mail reported the arrested man runs dog-training business Wolf Pack Dreaming, and was “previously accused of regularly abusing passers-by”.

Reports say the alleged incidents left locals “too frightened to use the popular spot”.

“Officers attached to Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command attended and spoke with a 59-year-old man, who allegedly became argumentative,” police told the online publication.

“When officers arrested the man, he allegedly became physically aggressive and resisted police.

“The chaotic incident captured on video shows the dog walker in a tense standoff with police as Mr Gabriel tells the person behind the camera to ‘p*** off’.”

When officers arrested the man, he allegedly became physically aggressive and resisted police.

The man was held down and surrounded by officers.

Officers can be heard saying “you are under arrest” as they detained the man in video obtained of the incident.

“You don’t understand, the dogs are going to go on the road. I’m not resisting, I just want the dogs to be secure,” the man can be heard shouting.

“Just wait for the dogs to be tied up please.”

The incident came after councillors last year called upon more park rangers to oversee the area because of the alleged “abusive behaviour of a regular dog walker”.

Police said the man was then taken to Waverley Police station, where he was charged with stalking and intimidation with intent to cause fear or physical harm.
