Yumisani Hernandez, 33, was arrested Tuesday on charges including battery, burglary, animal cruelty and resisting an officer with violence, according to an arrest report.
Hernandez was booked into the Miami-Dade jail, where he remained without bond Thursday for a probation violation, records showed. Attorney information wasn't immediately available.
The arrest report said Hernandez entered the yard of a home in the 2700 block of Northwest 26th Street Tuesday by removing a chain and lock on a gate.
Hernandez then started beating a brown Labrador retriever with the chain and lock, hitting the dog multiple times, the report said.
The dog's owner confronted Hernandez, who became enraged and attacked him, the report said.
The owner suffered multiple abrasions on his back, knees, abdomen and side of his nose in the attack, according to the report.
A witness who heard the dog crying and barking saw Hernandez attacking the man and called police.
Officers arrived and as they were taking Hernandez into custody he became combative, spitting on an officer's back and trying to kick out a window in a police car, the report said.
Hernandez was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital after suffering a broken nose and head abrasions before he was booked into jail.
The report didn't give a possible motive for the attack.

Second suspect arrested in school burglary spree
November 8, 2010|By Juan Ortega, Sun Sentinel
FORT LAUDERDALE — Authorities have arrested a second suspect in a two-month crime spree that targeted vending machines at a dozen schools in Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
Yumisani Hernandez, 26, of Miami, is being held without bond at a Miami-Dade jail after he was arrested on burglary charges Friday night.
His arrest came eight days after his alleged accomplice, Sergio Riveron, 21, of Hialeah, was taken into custody at Deerfield Beach High, on similar burglary charges.
During a media conference Friday morning, authorities said Riveron and Hernandez were suspected in dozens of school burglaries across the two counties. The suspects so far have been linked to 12 burglarized schools, partly based on Riveron acknowledging his involvement in those heists, officials said.
The pair allegedly entered schools by climbing fences or using bolt cutters to break open locks on gates. Once inside, they used bolt cutters or crowbars to get past the machines' protective cages, then stole the money inside, police said.
The spree ended at about 2 a.m. Oct. 28, when burglars tripped a silent alarm during a heist at Deerfield Beach High. Sheriff's deputies converged on the school and arrested Riveron, but Hernandez successfully fled, officials said.
Authorities didn't say how they found Hernandez on Friday. It may not have been a tipster who led officers to him, a Broward Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said Monday.
The Sheriff's Office, Broward Schools' Special Investigative Unit and Miami-Dade Schools police are still investigating whether the pair was responsible for similar burglaries at other schools.
Before Hernandez's arrest, he had told police on the phone that he didn't want to go back to prison and that he wouldn't surrender. State records show Hernandez was freed in April after serving a nearly four-year prison sentence for burglary, grand theft and battery on a child. He has had multiple burglary convictions in recent years, records show.
Riveron, a security guard in Miami-Dade who wanted to be a police officer, had no prior criminal history.
