Heartless kitten kicker arrested after punting cat in Brooklyn
A callous, cat-kicking creep was busted by cops Monday after he was caught on video heartlessly booting a trusting stray sending the animal on a sickening spin through the air before it landed behind a bush some 20 feet away.
Video of the vicious May 2 attack was posted on Facebook and circulated for several days before police saw it Monday and tracked down the man responsible.
Andre Robinson, 21, can be seen on the tape crouching and crooning as he lures the curious cat to him.
The friendly feline gray with white feet and a tuft of white fur under his chin moves closer and closer, sniffing at Robinsons outstretched hand as if looking for food.
But as soon as the small creature was within kicking range, the brute drew back and belted the cat full force with his right foot.
According to the arrest report, the cat flew an estimated 10 feet in the air for a distance of approximately 20 feet and a veterinarian confirmed to cops the brutal blow likely caused serious physical injury.
As the animal flew head over tail, Robinson bounced gleefully from foot to foot in a sick parody of a field goal victory dance.
Video shows him waving his arms in the air and cackling with laughter for several minutes after the stomach-turning assault.
Cheers and whoops can be heard behind Robinson from a group of his friends.
Police said the incident happened near or around 1831 Fulton St. at the Brevoort Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Robinson lives in the complex, cops said.
The depraved abuser had gone outside with his friends to wait for a food delivery.
Robinson turned to his friends and said Watch this, according to cops.
One of his friends started recording with his smartphone as Robinson cajoled the cat closer.

Accused cat-kicker Andre Robinson, 21, was taken into custody in the 81st Precinct on Monday.
Robinson, who has eight prior arrests, including one for knifepoint robbery in 2011, was charged with aggravated animal cruelty.
He admitted to cops that he was the man in the video.
No details on the cat or its condition were available.
Police were unable to verify if it survived the brutal attack.
Were still looking for the cat. We have to see if the cat needs medical attention, the arresting detective told the Daily News.
Weve got guys on it. Its still an active investigation, he said.
Residents at the Brevoort House said it was a stray that was a fixture at the complex.
Police were able to find Robinson with the help of determined animal lovers who began to play amateur sleuth as the vile video circulated online.
Several identified the scaffolding company and one sharp-eyed commenter posted the building address after using a software enhancer to blow up the background..
After identifying the Brevoort Houses, they showed the footage to police in the local 81st. Stationhouse precinct.
They immediately recognized Robinson as the cold-blooded cat-kicker.
Robinson has been nicked for jumping a turnstile on top of his 2011 robbery arrest.

Six of his eight priors are sealed, however.
Cops grabbed Robinson at Utica and Atlantic Aves. around 2:30 p.m. , police said.
Dozens of people wrote angry comments under the Facebook video and shared it online in the hope someone would recognize Robinson, dressed in an orange sweatshirt and a baseball cap covered in stars.
This is NEVER okay to do. Please share; hopefully somebody will recognize this fool, wrote one disgusted commenter.
Hope the cat is ok. Innocent cat, wrote another.
This really disturbs me .... He has a crowd of people laughing as if hitting a poor defenseless animal is actually entertaining and amusing, wrote another person.
Some of the posters also started a petition.
Prosecute New York man that kicks kitten in the middle of the street! it said.
As of Monday night it had 2,841 signatures.
