Sickening footage has emerged of a waterbird being kicked and stabbed to death by young fishermen in a shocking alleged act of animal cruelty at a popular Sydney pier.
Investigations continue after police were made aware of the distressing vision posted on social media last Friday.
Police made two arrests within 24 hours while a manhunt for a third male seen in the video allegedly involved in the killing of the bird continues.
Officers believe the horrific attack of an Australian pied cormorant occurred at a pier near Walsh Bay on March 4.
Footage filmed by a friend shows two young fishermen reeling in their catch before they are allegedly seen kicking the defenceless bird along the ground and stomping on its head multiple times.
