WEST BABYLON, NY — A West Babylon man was arrested Wednesday after throwing his 3-month-old puppy across the yard and pinning the dog to the ground by the throat, according to the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Officers responded to a complaint that 37-year-old Nicholas Serrano was seen picking up his pit bull puppy, Diamond, to shoulder height and throwing the dog across the yard, causing him to land on his shoulder and head, the SPCA said.
