Watch moment biker threatens to kill dogs after 'spitting' at owners in a Leeds park

This is the moment a man threatened to kill dogs after he spat over their owners in Leeds.

Chris Braithwaite and his partner were walking their two huskies in Middleton Park when they were confronted by the biker, at around 10.30am on May 3.

He said: "My partner took her phone out as he approached to take a picture of him, because you are not meant to be in Middleton Park on a motorbike.

"He covered his face and slowed down and asked why we were taking his picture. I told him he shouldn't be in the park on his motorbike and he spat on us and said he would take her phone off her.

"At that point my partner started videoing him. He turned around, rode back past us and threatened to kill our dogs that were just a bit further up the path."

Mr Braithwaite has posted the video online and he is now urging anyone who recognises the biker to contact West Yorkshire Police. LeedsLive has had to blur his face out on this video above for legal reasons.

The biker has been described as a white man who appears to be in his early 20s.

"This has been reported to the police and it will be followed through," said Mr Braithwaite.

"I am still in shock that the creep spat on us with everything that is going on at the moment."
