In Gdańsk, the police are investigating a high-profile incident that has sparked a heated reaction online. A witness reported that at a car wash near a gas station in the Orunia Górna area, a man was washing a dog using a pressure washer.
“The dog was sitting scared, with its tail between its legs. I made a remark, he responded rudely and moved to another station,” the witness wrote on social media, posting a photo of the incident.
The publication quickly spread across the internet and provoked a wave of outrage. Users labeled the situation as animal cruelty and demanded a response from the authorities.
According to the police, the published image has been recorded and added to the investigation materials. Law enforcement is working to identify the man and the circumstances of the incident
“We are conducting official actions. We are establishing what exactly happened. We will also check the condition of the animal when we reach the owner,” said Gdańsk police junior officer Aleksandra Filip.
The incident reportedly occurred on Saturday, May 23, during the day. However, the exact time is still being clarified.
A fierce discussion unfolded in the comments under the publication. Some users consider the incident unacceptable and classify it as animal cruelty, while others try to justify the man’s actions, suggesting that he might have just been washing off dirt from the dog after a walk.
The investigation is ongoing. The police promise to clarify all circumstances and check the condition of the animal.
