An Argentine soccer player has been expelled from a minor league game for mistreating a dog that wandered onto the field.

Fox Sports de Argentina broadcast images on Tuesday showing the player use both hands to grab the mid-size black-and-white dog by the collar and throw it toward the bleachers during the game. The dog struck a chain-link fence and fell down, but quickly got up and ran away.

The referee flashed a red penalty card at the player identified as Jose Gimenez, signaling his expulsion from the game between his Bella Vista team and the San Juan team in Tucuman province.
