A basset hound owner was caught on video kicking someone else's black Labrador in a San Francisco dog park as a scuffle got out of hand.

Footage shared online Friday shows the man, who has not been named, wearing a hat and a plaid shirt, in the middle of an argument with fellow dog owners at Duboce Park.

The crowd can be seen pulling him away from a woman and her black Labrador, telling him to keep his distance.

But as his own basset hound frolics in the background, the man suddenly runs towards the Lab and kicks it, producing an audible thump.

The argument began with a 'minor scuffle' between the man's basset hound and the woman's Labrador, New York Times reporter Mike Isaac, who was at the scene Thursday, told the DailyMail.com. 

That part was not caught on video and the footage, shared on YouTube, begins shortly afterwards, as other dog owners try to peel the man away from the woman and her Lab.

'Let go right now, it happens,' one man tells him.

'Get away from her,' a woman adds.

But the man in the plaid shirt complains that the woman is 'trying to walk away' as if nothing happened.

'Take some f*****g responsibility for your dog. That's why I'm mad,' he says.

The woman gets up and beings to walk away with her Lab on a leash, prompting the man to run towards them and kick the dog.

'Wow wow wow!' a woman exclaims while another man tackles the man in the plaid shirt.

'Chill, chill, chill,' says a man in the background.

But the woman replies: 'No, I'm calling the cops. That's wrong.'

The basset hound owner ends up picking up his dog and walking away.

Police arrived after the man left, according to Isaac. The Lab's owner has filed a report.
