A pet dog was thrown out of a Paisley flat window horrifying local residents.

The little Jack Russell plummeted 30 feet to the pavement on Monday evening.

The badly-injured pooch was knocked unconscious as he hit the concrete in Ferguslie Walk.

Horrified neighbours raced to help the little dog who is now being cared for by a local vet.

Paisley Inspector Tracey Harkins said: "This was a despicable crime which resulted in a defenceless animal being severely injured.

"I would ask anyone who was in Ferguslie Walk at around 5.35pm on Monday and witnessed the incident, to contact police on 101."

A man has been charged in connection with the incident.
